Coyotes Continue Their Charge with Dominant Varsity and JV Victories
Varsity
Monarch extended their winning streak to four on Thursday, bumping them up to 5-1. They blew past the Bear Creek Bears 50-21. Considering the Coyotes have won four contests by more than 25 points this season, another big win was nothing new.
Monarch was led to victory by Malakhi Payne and Nico Rizzello. Payne rushed for 257 yards and 3 TDs while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, while Rizzello threw for 93 yards on 7 of 15 attempts. Payne has averaged 3.5 rushing touchdowns per game over his last four games compared to 1.8 in his previous 14 games.
Monarch will square off against their in-conference opponent Dakota Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Junior Varsity
The JV squad won convincingly 29-6 over Bear Creek on Saturday at Mohi. Theo Mellish added to his impressive season with 2 more touchdowns, and Lucas Brussard added another in a dominant offensive performance.

Coyotes Show Their Fight: Big Wins, Tough Battles, and Pink Out Ahead!
The Monarch Girl's Volleyball program had another competitive week with matchups against Frederick and Mead.
Tuesday vs. Frederick: The Coyotes took care of business at home, with Varsity earning a convincing 3–0 sweep. JV, C and D teams also picked up wins, making it a great night across the entire program!
Thursday at Mead: Varsity battled through four incredibly competitive sets before falling 3–1. After dropping a tight first set 24–26, the Coyotes answered with a 25–22 comeback win in Set 2. Confidence was high and the fight continued, with Set 3 going all the way to 25–27 before Mead ultimately closed out the match 25–20 in the fourth.
It was a true team effort, with contributions coming throughout the lineup. Maddie Barak led the attack with 9 kills, while Izzy Hutchings added 7 kills and 1 block, Mia Reiley contributed 4 kills, 6 blocks and an ace, and Piper Hutton added 6 kills. Petra Rohlinger helped lead the offense as setter, while Kate Shima, Addi Rivera, Maya Singh and Julia Moss made important contributions throughout the match. Our back-row defense played a key role by helping keep rallies alive, creating opportunities for the offense and providing steady energy in a hard fought battle. More importantly, the team showed fight, confidence and resilience in one of its most competitive performances yet.
JV also fell to Mead, while the C and D teams both came away with wins.
