Monroe Campus (33-4) earned its first title since 2006 and finished off an impressive last month and half of the season for longtime coach Mike Turo. The Eagles earned its sixth school title but it has been a long time since the perennially strong program has been the last team standing.
“The kids learned how to win and get used to it and keep going. Then you lose a couple of times and you become very humble. It’s a whole new group,” Turo said. “After we lost some tough games during the [Monroe] tournament, we turned around and ran off 24 straight games. They did it and I’m proud of them.”
