MHS Winter Sports: State

It’s almost time to wrap up the Winter Sports Season in Oregon!

Madras High School Buff Boys Basketball ended their season without a Playoff run, but did get a nice end to their season as they got a victory in their final game of the season, dropping Tri-Valley Conference Champs Gladstone on Monday February 21st 64-59. The Boys were led by Seneca Ball who tallied 18 points and Skytus Smith with 13 points. The season might be over for them, but that victory showed promise as Ball and Smith are only Sophomore’s.

The Madras Lady Buffs are still playing as they secured the Tri-Valley Conference on Friday February 18th with a win over Corbett, who is going to be hosting Sisters this Saturday in the Play in games for the 4A state tournament. The Lady Buffs fell to Gladstone on Monday February 21st 53-33 in their last regular season game. The Gladiators, like the Lady Buffs won’t have to play in the play-in games as they will host a game in the first round of the 4A state playoffs. The Lady Buffs next game is going to be on Saturday March 5th in the Buffalo Dome, an opponent will be determined this weekend.
