I realize this is little consolation to the Monticello Billies players and Coaches but I still want to congratulate all of them for a GREAT season. The game last night was a very exciting, hard fought game. The players have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about losing the game.
I am proud to have this team represent Monticello going forward in the Play-offs. To all of the Seniors on the team: You have only begun to achieve what life has in store for you all. Don’t let a little “bump” slow you down.
Thanks to all of the fans for making “noise” at the game. Don’t forget the team will need you all along the way to the finals!!!
Good luck and God bless everyone involved with the Monticello Billies.
