Went to the game and I was impressed with Mustang defense. They did a good job containing the Blacknights speed. Monticello is going to keep getting better and better. Charlottesville's depth is going to be a problem as season progresses and lack of consistency on offense is going to hurt them. I don't expect them to make much noise. Western and Monticello are the top two teams in the JD. After that everyone else is too one dimensional and defenses are suspect. Final Monticello 30-12.

The bold is spot on. The rest is up for debate. Lost turnover battle, penalty battle. Story of game is final minutes of each half. 6-6 score with just over minute left in half, MHS has it at +45. Gets behind our secondary for TD. After we have return out to midfield, we fumble first play. They get a QB scramble and a deep out before hitting a FG as time expired to make it 16-6 at half. After we scored to cut it to 16-12 less than minute into 4th, their KR muffed the kick, picked up and was brought down at -6 yard line. MHS proceeds to go on 7 minute 94 yard back breaking TD drive capped by 35 yard TD run by the QB. They were 4/4 on 3rd downs on the drive. 23-12, 4 minutes left. We couldn't get off the field when we needed to. Credit to Monticello, they made more plays. We will learn and get better. Quick turnaround at Albemarle Friday.
