Madison was arguably Virginia Class 6’s best team last year, but two days before the state championship, the game was canceled because of the coronavirus outbreak. Madison hopes to compete for another state title, but losing the opportunity to claim last season’s outright state championship still irks the Warhawks. While the Warhawks hope to win a state title this season, their main objective is to play as many games as possible, knowing the season could be canceled at any time. “Every practice, every game, we’re playing like it’s our last time on the court.”The memory of the moment they learned the state championship was canceled still sticks in players’ minds. They processed the announcement by walking around the school before taking a picture in front of the building, where “20” had been added to the school’s state championship list.
