Because inclement weather forced its cancellation, no one can say for sure just how the Northern Sectionals would have played out on Feb. 6 when the six Bull Run District teams plus Stonewall Jackson and Central of Woodstock were slated to battle it out.Perhaps this past weekend&#8217;s Region B tournament provides the best indicator of how the Sectionals would have played out. That&#8217;s because the top six teams included four from the Bull Run District and both Stonewall and Central.            ]]></description>

Madison County senior point guard Casey Campbell might be the shortest member of the Mountaineers&#8217; starting lineup, but he doesn&#8217;t act like it.
&#8220;He&#8217;s 5&#8217;9 and he plays a lot bigger then that,&#8221; Madison Coach Ben Breeden said. Campbell and the Mountaineers jetted and jumped their way to three more wins last week, downing Manassas Park, George Mason and Charlottesville.

When looking back on a successful football season and career, one of Madison County senior Dylan Shifflette&#8217;s fondest memories is still fresh in his mind.
&#8220;(Senior lineman) Trey Good&#8217;s speech after the last game at Altavista was probably the most important thing I think I remember from all the years,&#8221; Shifflettte said. &#8220;Before we left he told us all that he loved us and that we were family, and it was just a very important moment for everybody in that locker room.&#8221;
The Mountaineers&#8217; family theme led to a 9-2 record and a Region B semi-final appearance.

Madison County High School&#8217;s baseball team was scheduled to host the Strasburg Rams on Tuesday, May 5. However, the game was washed out due to rain. Madison&#8217;s scheduled trip to Manassas Park on May 8 was also rained out. With all of the wet weather, the Mountaineers have been forced to play their final three Bull Run District games on consecutive days; hosting Strasburg on Monday May 11 and George Mason on Tuesday May 12, while traveling to Manassas Park on Wednesday May 13. Also, the quarter-finals of the Bull Run District tournament are scheduled for this Friday, May 15.            ]]></description>

Manassas Park Head Coach Richard Spagnolo said that his girls soccer team members are learning how to play together.

For the second straight year, Orange and Madison were set to make their season debuts against each other only to have their match postponed due to rain.

The 2009 Madison County baseball team returnees have a common theme in mind for this season: repeat and advance. Last season, the Mountaineers were co-champions of the Bull Run District, sharing the title with Strasburg. Both teams finished district play with 8-2 records. Unfortunately, Madison was upset by George Mason in the semi-finals of the district tournament prematurely ending their season.            ]]></description>

Madison County&#8217;s girls basketball season did not go as planned during the team&#8217;s 2008-2009 campaign.

          <description><![CDATA[
Madison County&#8217;s hardwood dominance continues, as the still-undefeated Mountaineers climb to 8-0 after pulling away from the Mustangs of Monticello Dec. 20 to get a big 63-51 win over the Group AA-Jefferson District foe. The game was tied at 26 at the halftime break, but then Madison Coach Tim Taylor took his team to a triangle-and-two defense to stop big Monticello scorers Hines Banks and Mark Brady. The new and non-practiced defense worked as Madison took the lead and never looked back in the third quarter, outscoring Monticello 20-9.

After handling a tough Nelson County team 28-8 in the season opener, the Mountaineers throttled Greene County&#8217;s William Monroe 28-0. However, as Madison senior Tremell DeBerry said, &#8220;There is always room for improvement. We have to keep getting better.&#8221; After a bye last week, Madison gets back in action Sept. 19, hosting the Luray Bulldogs of the Shenandoah District.            ]]></description>

UPDATE
Madison County&#8217;s Mountaineers stormed past Greene County&#8217;s William Monroe in Sept. 5 football action, shutting out the Dragons 28-0. Driving rain dampened much of the second half of the match-up at Martin Mooney Field in Stanardsville as the initial outer bands of the remnants of Tropical Storm Hanna blew into the area.           ]]></description>

Madison County took what virtually every high school football team in the commonwealth was looking for Aug. 29&#8212;a win in the first game of the season. Madison avenged last year&#8217;s loss to Nelson County with a huge win over the Governors, 28-8. Madison had luck with the first play of the entire season as A.J. Butler took the kickoff into Nelson territory. The Mountaineers scored a few plays later as Logan Terrell rushed in for a five-yard run with 10:17 to go in the first quarter.            ]]></description>

Madison County Coach Gary Honaker&#8217;s golf team ended last year&#8217;s season by finishing second in both the regular and district tournaments. This is after winning the Bull Run District Tournament the year before that. The team lost three key players to graduation this year &#8212;&nbsp; Joe Canosa, Tyler Coppage and Cory Hall.

&#8220;Gentlemen, we can rebuild him &#8230; make him better, stronger than before,&#8221; began the weekly opening of the hit 70s TV series &#8220;Six Million Dollar Man.&#8221; This year&#8217;s Madison County cross country program conjures up images of the show&#8217;s bionic man character, Steve Austin, as Madison&#8217;s standout boy runner, senior Kenny Lohr, returns better than ever, despite a bad ankle injury this past spring. And even the Mountaineer runners home course is getting some significant restorative surgery &#8211; Hoover Ridge ballfield construction knocked out some segments of it, so it&#8217;s being re-routed.           ]]></description>

A younger Madison County High School volleyball squad heads to the court this season. With seven now-graduated seniors absent from the 2008 season, the team&#8217;s greatest weakness is a lack of varsity experience, according to head coach B.J. Scott.            ]]></description>

There is only one place to be on Friday nights in Madison County; most people know that to be under the lights at Eddie Dean Field at Booster Park. It is also a place known as the home of the Madison County Mountaineers. In 2007, Madison was 5-5 with only a 2-3 record in the Bull Run District. This year, fourth-year Head Coach Stuart Dean and his staff hope to have a considerably better year and go for the Bull Run District championship as well as a run at the playoffs.           ]]></description>
