Home of Champions At MA we call ourselves the ldquoHome of Championsrdquohellip not so much because of our record of athletic excellence but more so because of the culture of excellence that we strive to instill in our students 1 Corinthians 924 reminds us ldquoDo you not know that those who run in a race all run but only one receives the prize Run in such a way that you may winrdquo and it is that commitment to excellence that we want our students to champion whether it be academically spiritually or athletically

Itrsquos a great time to be a Mustang The class of 2014 excelled in the class-room ndash receiving more than 6 million dollars worth of academic college scholarship offers and the Mustangs excelled on the field ndash with 2013-14 state championships in baseball football and tennis a state runner-up in volleyball as well as a state final four appearance in boysrsquo basketball

Yes the standards are set high but following Paulrsquos challenge we are committed to no less

3-A State Championship Bryant-Denny Stadium

MA 31 Leeds 14

from Alcom

The last time Madison Academy played in Bryant-Denny Stadium (2011) linebacker Tay-lor Ziak felt the Mustangs got pushed around in a Class 3A championship game loss He and his defensive teammates made sure his-tory didnt repeat itself

Top-ranked Madison Academy shut down Leeds vaunted run attack and Ziak made a huge defensive stop just before halftime as the Mustangs beat the Greenwave 31-14 for a second straight state title

Leeds 1000-yard rushers Tre Nation and Ty-ler Wright managed a combined eight yards on six carries against the tough Mustang front The Greenwave (12-3) switched to a five-receiver look to create space for quarterback TaDarryl Marshall who ran for 166 yards on 25 carries while completing 11 of 23 passes for 147 yards one touchdown and one inter-ception

Madison Academys running game mean-while was as good as advertised The Mus-tangs didnt complete a pass and ran for 366 yards and averaged 83 yards per carry

Game MVP Malik Miller ran for 169 yards and touchdowns of 1 yard in the second quarter and 10 yards in the third quarter Kerryon Johnson battled through lingering ankle and shoulder injuries to run for 93 yards on seven carries with a 43-yard score to open the game LaMarkus Martin added 78 yards on 13 carries and scored the Mustangs final touchdown on a three-yard run with 328 left in the game

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join

3-A State Championship Bryant-Denny Stadium

MA 31 Leeds 14

from Alcom

The last time Madison Academy played in Bryant-Denny Stadium (2011) linebacker Tay-lor Ziak felt the Mustangs got pushed around in a Class 3A championship game loss He and his defensive teammates made sure his-tory didnt repeat itself

Top-ranked Madison Academy shut down Leeds vaunted run attack and Ziak made a huge defensive stop just before halftime as the Mustangs beat the Greenwave 31-14 for a second straight state title

Leeds 1000-yard rushers Tre Nation and Ty-ler Wright managed a combined eight yards on six carries against the tough Mustang front The Greenwave (12-3) switched to a five-receiver look to create space for quarterback TaDarryl Marshall who ran for 166 yards on 25 carries while completing 11 of 23 passes for 147 yards one touchdown and one inter-ception

Madison Academys running game mean-while was as good as advertised The Mus-tangs didnt complete a pass and ran for 366 yards and averaged 83 yards per carry

Game MVP Malik Miller ran for 169 yards and touchdowns of 1 yard in the second quarter and 10 yards in the third quarter Kerryon Johnson battled through lingering ankle and shoulder injuries to run for 93 yards on seven carries with a 43-yard score to open the game LaMarkus Martin added 78 yards on 13 carries and scored the Mustangs final touchdown on a three-yard run with 328 left in the game

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

AHSAA Realignment 2014 -15

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join

Herersquos a look at the 2014-15 3-A region alignments and how each team did in 2013 placed in order of their 2013 re-cord If the team was in a different classification in 2013 this is noted in parenthesis along with their record in that classification

2013 Year in Review

3-A State Championship Bryant-Denny Stadium

MA 31 Leeds 14

from Alcom

The last time Madison Academy played in Bryant-Denny Stadium (2011) linebacker Tay-lor Ziak felt the Mustangs got pushed around in a Class 3A championship game loss He and his defensive teammates made sure his-tory didnt repeat itself

Top-ranked Madison Academy shut down Leeds vaunted run attack and Ziak made a huge defensive stop just before halftime as the Mustangs beat the Greenwave 31-14 for a second straight state title

Leeds 1000-yard rushers Tre Nation and Ty-ler Wright managed a combined eight yards on six carries against the tough Mustang front The Greenwave (12-3) switched to a five-receiver look to create space for quarterback TaDarryl Marshall who ran for 166 yards on 25 carries while completing 11 of 23 passes for 147 yards one touchdown and one inter-ception

Madison Academys running game mean-while was as good as advertised The Mus-tangs didnt complete a pass and ran for 366 yards and averaged 83 yards per carry

Game MVP Malik Miller ran for 169 yards and touchdowns of 1 yard in the second quarter and 10 yards in the third quarter Kerryon Johnson battled through lingering ankle and shoulder injuries to run for 93 yards on seven carries with a 43-yard score to open the game LaMarkus Martin added 78 yards on 13 carries and scored the Mustangs final touchdown on a three-yard run with 328 left in the game

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

AHSAA Realignment 2014 -15

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join

Herersquos a look at the 2014-15 3-A region alignments and how each team did in 2013 placed in order of their 2013 re-cord If the team was in a different classification in 2013 this is noted in parenthesis along with their record in that classification

3-A State Championship Bryant-Denny Stadium

MA 31 Leeds 14

from Alcom

The last time Madison Academy played in Bryant-Denny Stadium (2011) linebacker Tay-lor Ziak felt the Mustangs got pushed around in a Class 3A championship game loss He and his defensive teammates made sure his-tory didnt repeat itself

Top-ranked Madison Academy shut down Leeds vaunted run attack and Ziak made a huge defensive stop just before halftime as the Mustangs beat the Greenwave 31-14 for a second straight state title

Leeds 1000-yard rushers Tre Nation and Ty-ler Wright managed a combined eight yards on six carries against the tough Mustang front The Greenwave (12-3) switched to a five-receiver look to create space for quarterback TaDarryl Marshall who ran for 166 yards on 25 carries while completing 11 of 23 passes for 147 yards one touchdown and one inter-ception

Madison Academys running game mean-while was as good as advertised The Mus-tangs didnt complete a pass and ran for 366 yards and averaged 83 yards per carry

Game MVP Malik Miller ran for 169 yards and touchdowns of 1 yard in the second quarter and 10 yards in the third quarter Kerryon Johnson battled through lingering ankle and shoulder injuries to run for 93 yards on seven carries with a 43-yard score to open the game LaMarkus Martin added 78 yards on 13 carries and scored the Mustangs final touchdown on a three-yard run with 328 left in the game

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

AHSAA Realignment 2014 -15

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join

Herersquos a look at the 2014-15 3-A region alignments and how each team did in 2013 placed in order of their 2013 re-cord If the team was in a different classification in 2013 this is noted in parenthesis along with their record in that classification

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

AHSAA Realignment 2014 -15

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join

Madison Academy alum and record-breaking Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews was selected in the second round as the 42nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft becoming the first Mustang to be drafted into the NFL

A Mustang football team captain in 2009 and an All-State honoree Jordan concluded his illustrious Vanderbilt career as the holder of five SEC records career receptions (262) career receiving yards (3759) 100-plus yard receiving games (19) seasons with 90-plus catches (2) and single-season re-ceptions (112) giving him 26 more receptions and nearly 650 receiving yards more than any other player in SEC history

He also completed his Vanderbilt undergraduate degree in economics in 3 frac12 years

His road to the SEC wasnrsquot the typical one though Instead of traveling the college camp circuit Jordan took advantage of the many service opportunities Madison Academy offered including a mission trip to Ghana with over 20 other MA students the summer before his senior year

He was worried hersquod lose weight and miss out on time to train and attend football camps But his attitude changed when he reached Ghana There he met Catherine and Vida two teenage orphans he connected with and continued to write letters to after the trip He wears two rope necklaces the Madison Academy students made for the trip mdashldquoI never take them offrdquo he saidmdash even when he suits up for games

ldquoIt made me appreciate more what I have hererdquo Jordan said of the en-tire trip ldquoEver since Irsquove taken that trip Irsquove made it a point to never complain It doesnrsquot matter how hard camp gets how hard school gets it doesnrsquot touch the things that those people go through and those kids go through at such a young age over there in a third-world country Life is always good so you have to always act like thatrdquo

Congratulations Jordan on another great opportunity to show your Mustang spirit

AHSAA Realignment 2014 -15

With the creation of a new 7-A classification there was a major shift in the typical alignments and common foes that each classification and region was accustomed to In 3-A Region 8 gone to 4-A are Deshler Elkmont and Westmin-ster Christian and moving up from 2-A are Colbert Heights Lexington and Sheffield

Other common Madison Academy 3-A opponents of the past to move up to 4-A include Hamilton Saks JB Penning-ton and Leeds (2013 playoff opponents) Fayette County (2012 State Championship opponent) along with Danville Trinity Presbyterian and Good Hope Clay County-Central jumps to 5-A as does JO Johnson

Several strong 2-A teams move up to 3-A including Fultondale North Sand Mountain Oakman Lamar County Lex-ington and Montgomery Academy which should make for improved competition in the regions they join
