A strong rushing attack, helped Madison defeat Northern Heights in our featured area game of the week broadcast.
Colton Isch scored twice in the first quarter, before adding two more in the early moments of the second quarter.
The hot start would slow down for Madison, much in part to a physical resilience of Northern Heights. The score remained 30-0 at the half.
Northern Heights would have a drive stall out midway through the 3rd quarter, deep in Madison territory. Their defense capitalized with the field position forcing a safety.
