MONROE - In a battle of undefeated teams, the Monroe Fifth Grade White fought to a 0-0 tie against the DeForest Black on Saturday.
All 18 players contributed significantly to a defensive effort that limited DeForest to 81 total yards. Connor Allen, Nick Bansley, Tim Beckman, Jared Dillon, Julian Gruber, Deion Hargrove, Darien Hargrove, Logan Leuzinger and Payton Sawdey all having multiple-tackle games.
Coaches said keeping players fresh on defense was essential to the outcome of the game, so having a solid rotation that included Noah Amacher, Dustin Gough, Noah Becker, Dylan Fahrney, Ben Figi, Henry Hanson, Dayne Lawinger, Cael Losenegger and Judson Rikkers was a key.
Monroe was only able to muster 48 total yards of offense on the day with Sawdey rushing for 28 yards on three carries, but they remained unbeaten at 5-0-1. The Fifth Grade Red's game at St. Francis was canceled.
The Fifth Grade White will travel to take on Poynette Saturday.
