'Finding their way': Monroe Central girls basketball building around young core in 2022-23

DALEVILLE, Ind. — Monroe Central girls basketball on Tuesday earned its first victory of the season, a gritty 29-25 performance at Daleville High School.

Two years ago, the Golden Bears won just three games total before bouncing back in 2021-22 with a 12-11 record. But the program graduated five key seniors who accounted for 53.4% of its scoring, leaving head coach Brock Morrison and a class of up-and-coming sophomores to pick up the slack.

Monroe Central (1-1) opened its season with a 57-22 loss at Frankton, so rebounding with a clutch Mid-Eastern Conference win was an important first step for this young core.
