Following last night’s loss to Camp Point Central, the Titans of Monmouth-Roseville needed a tough showing on the morning of Day 3.  They got it in a gutsy 46-33 win over Abingdon-Avon’s Tornadoes.  The first half was anyone’s game as it went to break with a 20-19 score.  The Titans won both of the final
