Monticello Hosts Chicago Clark Saturday

The Monticello Sages football team rolled through the regular season finishing 9-0. 
 
It is the first undefeated season at Monticello for Head Coach Cully Welter who says despite losing a very good senior class last year, they felt they had a good opportunity be good once again.
 
 
The Sages high powered offensive attack has been highlighted by their passing game in 2016, but Coach Welter indicates the offensive line and running game has come a long ways this season.
 
 
Game time from Monticello High School Saturday is 2 pm. Hear all the action on 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com.
