ATLANTA—The St. Pius X High School boys’ basketball team started the Jan. 14 game with an 11-0 run, forcing Danielsville’s Madison County High School to call an early time out. It didn’t matter. St. Pius X players kept their foot on the gas, enforced a tenacious defense and defeated Madison County 77-42.
