Madison a step closer to second consecutive playoff berth after 28-20 win over Westbury

Madison high school football team, the Marlins, secured their second consecutive playoff berth with a 28-20 homecoming victory over Westbury. Starting quarterback S.J. Battle led the team to a decisive win, overcoming a sluggish beginning and executing their game plan effectively. Battle, a first-year starter, demonstrated poise and skill throughout the game, connecting with wide-open teammates for touchdowns.

The Marlins have been motivated by their strong performance this season, seeking their first back-to-back district titles since 1998-2001. Meanwhile, Westbury, still grappling with the loss of senior LePaul Warren, remains in the playoff picture but faces adversity after a recent tragedy. Despite the challenges, the Marlins' coach, James Soria, expressed pride in his team's resilience and determination to make history.
