&#8220;Gentlemen, we can rebuild him &#8230; make him better, stronger than before,&#8221; began the weekly opening of the hit 70s TV series &#8220;Six Million Dollar Man.&#8221; This year&#8217;s Madison County cross country program conjures up images of the show&#8217;s bionic man character, Steve Austin, as Madison&#8217;s standout boy runner, senior Kenny Lohr, returns better than ever, despite a bad ankle injury this past spring. And even the Mountaineer runners home course is getting some significant restorative surgery &#8211; Hoover Ridge ballfield construction knocked out some segments of it, so it&#8217;s being re-routed.

There is only one place to be on Friday nights in Madison County; most people know that to be under the lights at Eddie Dean Field at Booster Park. It is also a place known as the home of the Madison County Mountaineers. In 2007, Madison was 5-5 with only a 2-3 record in the Bull Run District. This year, fourth-year Head Coach Stuart Dean and his staff hope to have a considerably better year and go for the Bull Run District championship as well as a run at the playoffs.

Madison County High School&#8217;s head basketball coach, Timmy Taylor, turned his focus this summer from his current basketball players to his future court stars as he hosted his first annual summer youth basketball camp. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a way to give back to the community,&#8221; said Taylor. &#8220;It helps build that Madison Pride that we&#8217;ve been talking about, and it will help the future of the basketball program at the high school.&#8221;
