Congrats to Madison Southern! I'm happy for them for the fact that they got their first district title. FF has every right in the world to be proud of his local team and he is definitely right about one thing; there has been a losing mentality in Berea/Madison Southern football for too long. Berea/Madison Southern football is about the same as UK football in the SEC. They just can never seem to get over the hump. They will have a special year every so often and occasionally beat a quality opponent with a special group of kids. But they never seem to get that division championship because of the mentality that is UK football. Hell, Southern is district champ for the first time EVER. Let them celebrate no matter WHO they beat for the title. They still played the big boy from their past district and perhaps they may benefit from that in the playoffs. They also did it without the superstar of past and I wouldn't have given them much of a chance myself at the beginning of this year to have a winning season much less a district title. I personally am not much of a Clark fan, but, the proof is in the pudding, those kids won the district title and it doesn't matter who was in the district. Hopefully it will be a stepping stone for a community that is sorely in need of some football success. Again, congrats to the Eagles.
