Marcus Eaves drilled three 3-pointers and scored 15 of his game-high 25 points as part of Madisonville’s 26-5 second quarter run.
The Maroons hit seven 3-pointers in the contest and their defense held HCA to single digits in each quarter.
Freshman Christopher Watkins joined Eaves in double figures with 10 points.
Carlos Robles scored eight points to lead HCA although he saw his streak of eight straight games scoring in double figures come to an end.
Madisonville will play Webster County Saturday in the 6th/7th District Shootout at Hopkins County Central.
Heritage Christian Academy will play Trigg County Thursday. It will be the first-ever meeting between the schools.
