Preview: Montello Hilltoppers vs. Wild Rose Wildcats
The Montello Hilltoppers will head out on the road to face off against the Wild Rose Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Montello is hoping to put an end to a three-game streak of away losses.
Montello never got on the board in their last matchup, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Williams Bay last Friday. Montello blew past Williams Bay 52-26.
Meanwhile, Wild Rose fell victim to Iola-Scandinavia's stalwart defense on Thursday and couldn't make it onto the board. They and the Thunderbirds were almost perfectly matched up, but they suffered an agonizing 2-0 loss. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as Wild Rose came into the game with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin football rankings (they are ranked 27th, while Iola-Scandinavia is ranked 190th).
Montello's victory lifted them to 4-8 while Wild Rose's loss dropped them down to 4-10.
