The Madison 4th grade girls’ travel basketball team won the Rhode Island Youth Basketball Association’s MLK weekend basketball tournament in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

After losing the first game of the tournament by one point to East Providence, the 4th grade girls rattled off four consecutive victories, including wins in both the semi-final and final game, which took place on Jan. 16.

Over the four-game stretch, the girls outscored their opponents 76-30. This was highlighted by an outstanding defensive performance in the championship game, in which they won 14-4 over West Warwick, Rhode Island.
