The 2009 State A Boys Basketball Championship team was the first team in 64 years to bring a state basketball title back to Madison High School. That 2009 team capped an incredible run of teams that finished 3rd in 2007 and 2nd in 2008 before finally bringing home the state title in 2009. The success of the 2009 team opened the flood gates for Madison basketball. The momentum created by that 2009 Championship helped pave the way for State Championships in 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2018 – an unbelievable run of 5 state titles in a 10-year span!
The amount of pressure put on the 2009 State Championship Team was through the roof, but they were a close-knit group of players that were able to block out the outside noise and go out and play basketball at an extremely high level. The team finished the season with a record of 24-2 and won their last 13 games enroute to the state title. During the season the 2009 team set then MHS Boys Basketball “TEAM” records in 11 statistical categories: wins in a season (24), consecutive wins (13), points scored in a season (1903), points per game in a season (73.2), field goals made in a season (708), FG % in a season (54.3%), 3-point baskets made in a season (150), free throw % in a season (72%), defensive rebounds in a season (559), steals in a season (248), and assists in a season (496) – 7 of those school records still stand to this date! We are excited to be inducting the 2009 State A Boys Basketball Championship Team into the MHS Athletic Hall of Fame!
