JUDA - The old adage that defense wins championships is a common belief shared by many in sports, and on Thursday night, defensive pressure was the key in Monticello's 41-38 win over the Juda Panthers. Juda started off the game with a quick tempo, and at the end of the first quarter, they had a 15-7 advantage. However, for James Pickett and his Panthers team, stifling pressure applied by the Ponies in the second quarter was what shifted the momentum of the game.
