The Monticello Sages played the Shelbyville Rams this evening in Shelbyville to kick off their conference action. It was a close game throughout and it was evident at half time where the Sages had only a 23-22 lead over the Rams. Down to the last few seconds of the game both teams were flipping the ball back and forth. After a large gap left between the Sages and Shelbyville, the Sages managed to close in on the gap up to the last few seconds of the game. They played hard but couldn't tie it up for overtime. The Rams took the victory with a final score of 51-44.
Tune in again Tuesday for more Sages action as they face off against the Central Catholic Saints at 7 PM. You can hear it all right here on 95.9, WEZC.
