The most exciting play for Milton came on the defensive side of the ball. Senior cornerback Dalton Soergel made an excellent pass break up to save a touchdown. The play led to an MVP chant from Milton\u2019s student section which got Soergel and the team fired up. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDude that was great, it really got the team hyped and we thought we could use the momentum to help us win the game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Soergel, playing in his last homecoming game, enjoyed this homecoming the most. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was probably the most fun I\u2019ve ever had. Having all of those fans there and having the team that hyped to try and go out and win the homecoming game for them was great.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we were cheerleaders (in high school) so it was a little different,\u201d said Bergeron, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at Rock County. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Larson, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, participated in her first homecoming as an alumni. Larson attended the parade, pep assembly and the game which brought back memories.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was sentimental and melancholy being like aww we used to do that,\u201d said Larson. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Redhawks will have to get over their melancholy quickly as their next game is against the Fort Atkinson Blackhawks. The game will be played on Friday for the Hawk Bowl Trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monona Grove will play at home against Stoughton on Friday. The Silver Eagles are currently tied with the Watertown Goslings in the Badger South standings.<\/a> Watertown and Monona Grove will finish the year playing each other in Watertown. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
