NEW GLARUS - The pep talks that New Glarus-Monticello coach Desie Breadon is giving during the week must have been taken to heart by his players.
For the second straight week, the Glarner Knights capped a second-half rally with a comeback 12-7 win over Watertown Luther Prep Friday night. New Glarus-Monticello senior quarterback Gabe Noyce scored two second-half touchdowns to propel the Knights to the victory. Noyce scored on a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter to cut Luther Prep's lead to 7-6. He then tossed a 19-yard game-winning TD pass to senior Jesse Halvorsen in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
"We started off a little slow again tonight," Breadon said. "We came back in the second half strong. The big thing we talked about this week was persistence. We definitely showed it all night."
Noyce rushed for 77 yards on 12 carries and scored one touchdown. The Knights limited Luther Prep to just 118 total yards including just 72 on the ground.
