BELLEVILLE - The New Glarus-Monticello football team was able to hang on to knock off rival Belleville 34-22 Friday for the Glarner Knights' first win of the season.
"We're very happy with the win, but not satisfied," New Glarus-Monticello coach Desie Breadon said. "It (winning the first game) happened a lot later than what we expected. It felt really good to get off that streak."
New Glarus-Monticello (1-5, 1-1 Capitol South Conference) snapped a five-game losing streak and forced two turnovers. New Glarus-Monticello junior Zach Price had one interception.
With three conference games remaining, the Knights can still play their way into the playoffs.
New Glarus-Monticello hosts Wisconsin Hieghts next week. The Knights then host Cambridge Oct. 9 and play at Waterloo Oct. 16.
"All of their goals and dreams are still achievable this season," Breadon said.
The Knights got a big boost with the return of senior Gavin Binger last week. Binger suffered four various hip injuries before the season and was considered out for the year before returning against Marshall last week.
"It's big," Breadon said. "The surgeon said he couldn't do any long-term damage and he wanted to play football. We missed his leadership and athleticism."
