‘High standards, no excuses’: Monroe Central football's season is about to begin

MUNCIE, Ind. — In the last four or five years, Monroe Central’s football program has become a “powerhouse," Jackson Ullom believes.

The junior quarterback points back to the Golden Bears’ undefeated regular season in 2016. He points back to the run to semi-state in 2017, when they finished 12-2 after going 11-1 the year before. Monroe Central has strung together seven straight winning seasons from 2013 to 2019, going 62-22 in that span, with two sectional titles and one regional championship in Class A postseason play.
