High school football preview: Monmouth-Roseville

MONMOUTH, Illinois (KWQC) - Coming off one of the best seasons in program history, expectations remain high for Monmouth-Roseville despite the loss of most starters from last season.

“We have some really, really good top-end players back, but we only returned six guys who’ve ever started the varsity game before” said head coach Jeremy Adolphson who led the Titans to the State Quarterfinals last year for the first time since 2008.

“We have all these guys that have worked their tail off that I think are getting more and more confident by the day” he said.

“I really have high expectations for them. We’ve been pretty blessed around here the last few years. The guys that were like that have always really performed at a high level, and I don’t see anything different about this group than those.”

Monmouth-Roseville will kickoff the season on the road Friday against Erie-Prophetstown.
