Monroe hosted Baraboo on Friday, December 18th, for a non-conference game. The final score was Monroe 0, Baraboo 15.
Coach Josh Smith commented, “Tonight we knew this was going to be a tough game. Baraboo has already beaten Edgewood, who is usually our conference leader, this season so we were expecting tough opponents. We also have been working on a new forechecking system the past two weeks and it was paying off some but when we made positional mistakes it really hurt us, but that was to be expected. We wanted to use this game as our beta test to work out kinks, see where we needed to fix things and look for issues that may arrive. This allowed us to play with them for a period and a half, but then we started making too many mistakes and getting in our own heads and the game finally got away from us.  Baraboo has a good squad this year, especially with them losing 16 seniors last year. I wish them good luck for the rest of their season and we now need to prepare for Monday’s rematch against DeForest.”
Monroe is 0-5 in the Badger South, and hosted DeForest on Monday, December 21st, at 1:00 p.m., at SLICE.
