Madison Central is small but exceptionally quick and plays a suffocating defense which triggers their offense.  Montgomery County has excellent length in Savannah Jarvis, Baylee Warner, and Addison Terry.  Baylee has worked hard on her game and is a versatile scoring threat, a solid rebounder, and runs the floor well.  Addison Terry transferred in this year and adds a lot to this team.  They are a relatively young team and will improve steadily throughout the year.

Addison “Addie” Terry played for my home team, Owsley County,  last season and averaged 14 & 8 on the regional championship team that lost by 2 points to Bowling Green in Rupp. We hated to lose her, only a junior, but her dad took a job teaching and is an assistant coach at Montgomery County and moved there. Her brother Andrew is a talented 6’7 freshman.
