He also is topps with 157 assists on the season. Randolph returns to Madison after a one year hiatus. The Rockets return with a 44-30 win against Racine Lutheran on Saturday afternoon at Fort Atkinson. Randolph has gone with the same starting lineup the entire season, and are on the same page with numerous scoring attacks.

This may not be as good as the opener to the tourney, so look for the more experienced and talented Randolph to ease its way into the state final.
