Off a 36-14 win last week over Rantoul on the road, Monticello football Coach Cully Welter wasn't pleased with his team's performance.
Coming into tonight's Homecoming matchup with Decatur St. Teresda, the Hall of Fame Coach challenged his team to work to get better this week.
While St. T has been down - relative to their standards - the last few years, Coach Welter says they have some talent and good athletes. The 2-1 Sages can't take anyone for granted right now.
Homecoming week can often be filled with distractions for a young football team, from the activities throughout the week, the parade on Friday before the game, and all the weekend festivities. Coach Welter has been pleased with his team's focus this week.
Game time tonight is 7 pm. Hear all the action on 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com.
