Monti Warriors Rout Mount Vernon In Conference Clash
Monticello high school football in black and red dominated Mount Vernon 33 to 12 on Friday afternoon. Back Balsteer stepped in for Hobert delivering a fast, defensive and scoring performance while Reybolds and Yeoman propelled the offense with solid ground gains and a late touchdown. Mount Vernon battled early but Monti’s tackling and lines kept the visitors from crossing repeatedly, and a new rule on defensive penalties aided the Mount Vernon march before Monti halted the drive and held firm after a late interception attempt.
