                                                Head Coach Rich Cleveland

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.  Impossible is not a fact.  It's not an opinion.  Impossible is not a declaration.  It's a dare.  Impossible is potential.  Impossible is temporary.  IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!"

" I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games 26 times. I've been trusted to the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that's why i succeed".
Michael Jordan

The country is full of good coaches. What it takes to win is a bunch of interested players.
-Don Coryell, ex-San Diego Chargers Coach

"The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny"

Madison East High school is a member of the Big 8 conference and competes at the highest level of play.
