How do you stop one of the most decorated running backs in state history? Thats what Madison Academy coaches and players are spending the short week trying to figure out. The two-time defending state champions face Dale County (AL) in the 3A finale at 11 a.m. Thursday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. The Warriors are built around Jamarius Henderson, whose name sits atop the single-season rushing record list with 3,279 yards. And his 43 touchdowns are tied for the most in a single season. And Henderson (5-foot-10, 205 pounds) hasnt been doing all his damage against cupcake defenses. Hes averaged 13.1 yards a carry en route to 1,261 yards and 14 scores in four playoff games. THA TRUTH
