Recently, when I fired up my computer to work on MonticelloLive projects, I went to check my email and realized that my Yahoo email account had been hacked. When I discovered the hack, I was upset to realize that everyone in my address book had received an email from my account with a suspicious link. The email contained no text in the subject line and no text other than the link in the body of the email.

In the last regular season football game of the 2011 season, The Monticello Billies defeated the North Pulaski Falcons with a score of 34-7.

The Jr. High Billie football players and coaches where honored at the beginning of the came for their back to back conference championships.

In what was mostly a ground attack, Monticello held the Falcons scoreless up until the last 30 seconds of the game.  Quarterback Cole Connelly, Running Back JaQuarius Davis, and Imani Riley where among the Billies that got to the end zone to score.

During half time, the Billie Ball Boys who wore white jerseys with #2 on them, came out for a moment of silence to honor  Katlin Lidge, former Billie who lost his life earlier this year.

Monticello will travel to Wynn next Friday to take on the Yellow Jackets in the first round of the play offs.

Helena-West Helena scored early in the first quarter, and late in the forth quarter, but the rest of the game was a battle won by the hometown Monticello Sr. Billies.

KHBM’s radio team of Mark Tiner and Judge Bynum called the game ” a team effort”, where the Billies outlasted the Cougars for the victory.

This was Monticello’s homecoming game, and was preceded by the traditional ceremonies and recognition of the senior players and court of maids and homeconing queen.

The first annual Union Bank Saline River Shoot Out ends with a tied score of 6-6.

The Billies travel to Dumas next week to take on the Bobcats.

The “Saline River Shootout” trophy will be shared between the schools, this year.  Warren won a coin toss, and will get to keep the trophy for it’s first possession.
