NG-M Football Downed by Lake Mills

Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/15/2015 - 9:55am

“There’s not much to say about Friday’s game except Lake Mills performed very well, and we didn’t. We give them credit for the way they played,” said New Glarus-Monticello Football Head Coach Desie Breadon. “This week we finally get into conference play, and everything is wide open. It’s the start of the second season. We should be getting some guys back that have been out with sickness and injury. At this point, everyone in conference is 0-0, and we’re just concerned with being 1-0 this week against Marshall.”
