Sept. 7, 1990: Where were you the last time Madison beat Valley View in varsity football?

It’s been nearly 30 years since Madison High School’s football team tasted victory in a varsity game against Valley View.

The date was Sept. 7, 1990, and the visiting Mohawks blanked the View 20-0 at Barker Field in Germantown.

Current Madison head coach Steve Poff was a junior fullback on the winning team. His 6-yard run on fourth-and-2 led to the Mohawks’ final touchdown by Damon Lee. A 55-yard punt return by John Blaylock had set up the drive.
