Monticello's 'blanket' smothers Wildcats' unbeaten season
Feb. 17, 2012 8:45 pm
DELHI -- When the security blanket came back, so did Monticello's mojo.
Brooke Stahlberg spearheaded a second-half push, and the Panthers downed ninth-ranked Maquoketa Valley, 59-51, in a Class 2A girls' basketball regional semifinal before a packed house of 1,000 Friday night at Maquoketa Valley High School.
The Panthers improved to 21-3, including 10-0 since Stahlberg came back from a wrist injury. They'll play No. 15 Pella Christian (21-3) in a regional final Monday at Marengo, with a state-tournament bid on the line.
