Tiny Madison Township is 'Mohawk Strong' for historic football team

For nearly six decades, football players from this tiny, rural school system, just across a wide stretch of the Great Miami River from steel-city Middletown, have laced up cleats for battle against gridiron opponents. Madison High School's first kick-off took place in 1960, and though the boys who stepped up and strapped it on to represent the community’s beloved "Mohawks" knew some successes -- divisional championships, rivalry wins, winning records -- they never had a season like this.
