HS FBall: Monticello Visits Prairie Central

While Monticello has its playoff fate likely locked in, the Sages will be facing two teams fighting for their playoff lives to wrap up the regular season and begin tonight when they travel to Fairbury to take on Prairie Central in Illini Prairie Conference high school football action.

The Sages enter action 5-2 overall, while the Hawks enter week eight at 4-3. Coach Cully Welter says tonight's game will show a lot about his team - as both Prairie Central and next week's opponent, Paxton-Buckley-Loda, have their matchups with the Sages circled as wins to qualify for the playoffs.

 

Coach Welter indicates Prairie Central has a lot of size, speed, and athleticism. Their offense is going to pose a great challenge for his defense.

 

Game time tonight is 7 pm. Hear the action on 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com. Be sure to follow ILSportsWire on all your social media platforms for video highlights of Friday night's matchup as well.
