Madison had a 5- 4 lead early but the Rebels flexed their muscle from then on. Southwestern is led by 2 seniors, Jamison Lewis and Peyton Cloud but run 7 or 8 deep. Junior Landon Kidwell and sophomore Brady Cook were major contributors this game and are names to remember for the future. Southwestern raced out to a 38- 22 and it didn't get much better for the Cubs in the 2nd half. Madison junior Mason Davis was the only Cub in double figures with 19. Southwestern went on to win the game in convincing fashion, 80- 55 leading no doubt in my mind they are a top 10 team in 2A this season.

● Senior Jamison Lewis is an underrated kid in southern Indiana. Good looking 3 point shot with the ability to put the ball on the floor. Had a fast break dunk in the 2nd half that showcased his athleticism. Drives the lane and gets to his spots. A good baseball prospect as well as basketball. The 6'4 guard finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

● Senior Peyton Cloud is a really tough defender at 5'11. Causes chaos on the perimeter and is an all around smart 4 year player for the Rebels. Solid ball handler and shooter. A leader on this SW team. Finished the game with 19 pts.

● Landon Kidwell is a 6'5 junior that has improved leaps and bounds in the past few years. He looks like he is ready to take the next step. Has good footwork on his post moves and doesn't fall for ball fakes on the defensive end. If Kidwell becomes consistent with an outside shot he will become a very nice player and prospect. Finished the game with 14 pts., 6 rebounds, and 5 blocks.

● 6'2 sophomore Brady Cook is another Rebel underclassman that shows real promise. A starter from Day 1 last year, Cook is looking to show he belongs in the conversation as one of Southern Indiana's top 2026 kids. He has gotten stronger on the drive and is a lethal outside shooter. He will be a name to remember for the next 2 years. Brady finished with 17 pts.

● 5'9 junior Mason Davis for Madison was their lone bright spot on the night. Davis played unafraid of the moment even with his team struggling to find their rhythm. Mason is a knockdown shooter that is learning to get to the basket. His natural position is a 2 guard but looks to be handling the ball more this season. Davis finished with 19 points.

● Madison travels to Jennings County on December 1 while Southwestern visits Shawe on November 25.
