This group of Captains have exhibited outstanding leadership throughout the year, with their participation in community service and their overall leadership by example. They have created a bond and trust amongst each other that will stay with them forever. They are “brothers forever.”
The community of Madison is very supportive of all our athletic programs and we are so lucky to have great people in our Town that believe and support all the extracurricular activities our students participate in.
Go Tigers!
