MG Battles Waunakee in 7โ3 Defensive Showdown
Monona Grove and Waunakee went toe-to-toe Friday night with the conference championship on the line, but the Warriors escaped with a 7โ3 win.
MGโs defense was outstanding, forcing punt after punt and never allowing Waunakee inside the MG 35-yard line. Deangelo Clay led a strong effort up front, while Gavin Weiss and Hunter Meyer made key plays in coverage.
A gutsy fake punt helped set up Hans Haffeleโs 37-yard field goal, giving MG a 3โ0 lead late in the third quarter. Waunakee answered with a 69-yard touchdown pass, the gameโs only score in the end zone.
MG battled to the finish but couldnโt find the winning touchdown.
The Silver Eagles move to 7โ1 and return home next Friday to host DeForest for Homecoming.
