It'll be one of the top games of the early season slate tonight when the Monticello Sages travel to Central Illinois Conference-leading Warrensburg-Latham for a non-conference showdown in boy's high school basketball action.
The Sages are coming off a couple of impressive weekend victories in Greenville. Monticello trailed Carlyle 27-18 at the half in the first game of a double-dip but dominated the second half and pulled away with a 57-39 win.
They then rolled past Greenville in the second game, 72-44. The Sages are 9-0 overall.
The Cardinals started the season 10-0 but lost last night in non-conference action to Mt. Zion, 66-63.
