Southside Madness will take place on Friday November 13th, at 7:30pm at Benton High School. During the event players from both the boys and the girls basketball teams will be introduced to fans, the teams will hold a skills competition, dunk contest, as well as a hot shot competition, all followed by an intersquad scrimmage. Fans are encouraged to wear red and white to the event to come out and support the Cardinals.
