'It's surreal': Monroe Central completes 1st perfect regular season in program history

PARKER CITY, Ind. — Monroe Central boys basketball secured the historic feat early, holding the ball for the final minute to allow the team and its fans to feel the moment.

It's the approach head coach Justin Ullom preaches, "Be where your feet are," and the Golden Bears on Friday made sure to appreciate their accomplishment: a perfect 21-0 regular season.

It's the first undefeated basketball team in school history, a stark improvement from last year's 13-9 squad comprised of mostly the same players. The Mid-Eastern Conference-clinching 47-29 Senior Night win over Randolph Southern wasn't easy, but became a fitting end to an unpredictably-dominant year.
