Madison rolled to 3-0 on the season with a 60-41 victory over Flinthills on Saturday in the final round of the Madison Tournament.
Only five players scored for Madison, but it was more than enough thanks to three players that scored in double figures.
Eric Porter led all scorers with 23 points. Porter made just five shots from the field, but did most of his damage from the free-throw line, hitting 11 of 14 foul shots.
Sid Childers scored 16 points and Kaleb Schankie added 12. The only other two players to score for the Bulldogs were Michael Luthi (7) and Kale Schankie (2).
Madison led 24-16 at halftime but used a 17-8 third-quarter scoring run to take control of the game, led by six points apiece from Porter and Childers in the frame.
Flinthills had three double-digit scorers, as Grant Vogt and Dalton Skiles each had 11 points while Micah Womacks added 10.
Madison next will play at Olpe (1-0) on Tuesday, while Flinthills will travel to play Hartford, also on Tuesday.
