  This afternoon I made the ten-minute drive to Madison Christian to watch the Eagles battle league foe Granville Christian. What turned out to be a good competitive game started on the opposite end of the spectrum for Granville Christian as they fell behind 15-3 after one. From there they would win the three final quarters but drop the game by the count of 43-38. Both teams played hard but sloppy at times, as the turnovers almost happened as fast as points. being scored. Unofficially I had Chloe Poling, a Sophomore for Granville, leading all scores with 16 points. Her teammate, senior Skyler Weekly, added 14. For Madison Christian, Sophomore Abigail Lesko had 14, and Jadah Harris added 10 points.    Follow me on X @HEARTLANDFAN15
