2025 Season Wasn’t An Indication of Madison County’s Talent

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A year after winning the Rural championship, the Madison County football program headed into the 2025 season with plenty of enthusiasm and talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Under the direction of <strong>Price Harris</strong>, the Cowboys were primed for a repeat – with some quality talent, but 2024 would not repeat itself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finishing the year 6-6 may have not been a true indicator of the talent that this team had.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yes, they lost six times, but all six of those setbacks came by a total of 24 points, with two coming by just a point, against 7A power DeLand and a state playoff game against Blountstown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As soon as the season came to an end and the Rural division was no longer, this now 1A team looked toward 2026 with plenty of optimism and enthusiasm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are some impressive players coming back – along with some new faces – in all classes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cowboys return rising seniors <strong>Dre Mitchell</strong> (WR/CB), <strong>Chad Mitchell </strong>(QB/S) and rising sophomores (2029) <strong>Kemari Ashley</strong> (DE) and <strong>Isaiah Sparrow</strong> (LB).</p> <!--
