In a game heard on WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com, Monticello could not must any first-half offense, and the struggles allowed Williamsville to take control in a 55-27 blowout non-conference loss Tuesday night at the Sievers Center in Monticello.

Monticello was outscored 25-4 with only one field goal in the first half and ended up with the lowest offensive output in Coach Kevin Roy's 18 years as the boy's basketball coach.

The Sages finally got its offense going in the third quarter but it wasn't enough as the Bullets had an answer for each Sages basket and the lid came back on the hoop again in the fourth quarter as Monticello had just two fourth quarter field goals.

Monticello for the game shot 23 percent and committed 19 turnovers that turned into 17 points for Williamsville. 

Rai Colbert led Monticello with nine points on a trio of three-pointers. Trey Welter added six points. 

Perhaps the only bright spot for the Sages was they could outrebound Williamsville 28-24.

Cobert was the ServPro of Piatt/DeWitt County Player of the Game. 

Williamsville goes to 3-0 while the Monticello falls to 2-2.

The Sages return home Friday night hosting Mt. Zion at 7 pm. Hear the action on WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com.
