Monroe beats Madison 48-33. Drew Taylor had 21 points. Monroe can shoot well and was aggressive on defense. Madison couldn’t buy a basket jeez. Monroe plays Talwawanda Friday at home. Good start to the season.
I thought Monroe looked pretty good actually. I was kind of surprised. With that being said, Madison may only win a handful of games based on what I saw.
Monroe had some balanced scoring and saw contributions from everyone who played. Only 6 players played quality minutes. They may need to develop some bench players in closer games. The Monroe kids play hard and were gassed a few times.
Madison's #2, not sure of his name, had an impressive game off the bench. Sloppy play otherwise for everyone else. They are physical, but out-of-control physical. Missing shots and just attacking for the rebound with recklessness. To someone's point in the football thread, I was amazed how the Madison fans barked at the officials when their players were hammering kids from Monroe.
