Monticello Looking to Bounce Back at IVC

After week one's 21-14 loss to St. Joseph-Ogden, Monticello football Coach Cully Welter took a lot of positives away from the performance but noted they would need to approach the remainder of the season like the postseason because of the balance of the Illini Prairie Conference.

 

Heading into this week's matchup at IVC, Coach Welter felt like his team left a lot of opportunities on the field last week and a slow start didn't help much either.

 

 

In year's past, Coach Welter may have dialed more in on self-improvement in practice rather than get too wrapped up in strategy for an opponent, that shifts a little bit as the Sages find themselves in a bit of an early hole.
