The high school football season gets its unofficial start in July with camps, workouts, and 7-on-7s.

Tonight, Monticello High School hosts its first 7-on-7 of the month. The Sages host 7-on-7 competitions each Wednesday evening in July. Coach Cully Welter really puts a lot on the schedule for his team in July.

For the Hall of Fame coach looks to the 7-on-7 competitions to install offense and work on their defensive schemes.

Coach Welter has always touted the fact he gets terrific buy-in during the spring and summer workout schedule, particularly from athletes that are not involved in other sports. He says 7-on-7s are the same way.

Monticello will host the 7-on-7 competitions on its new turf at the main field on campus. Coach Welter has been very pleased with the way that the renovation that was complete during the spring has improved their summer program.
