Solon Faces Mount Vernon Rematch After Early Season Setback
Solon coach Jeff Novotny weighs a 4-1 loss to Mount Vernon as a rallying point. The Spartans improved to 8-3 overall and 7-1 since the defeat, with key players Josh Griebahn and Danny Karr contributing on offense and Mitch Olson keeping opponents at bay. The team eyes a post season run and a potential state berth after facing Marion and Davenport Assumption, then Mount Vernon again, while Iowa City West and Pleasant Valley meet in a pivotal girls match with regional brackets set for June.
