The Monmouth College Fighting Scots football squad has claimed the Midwest Conference championship 3 times in the past 6 years. The 2020 season was canceled due to coronavirus pandemic. The Scots have won seven total titles since 2005. Current head coach Chad Braun has won the past three titles and has been in the conference championship game or ended the season as the conference runnerup in all six of his seasons, minus the 2020 canceled campaign. Monmouth is coming off one of those runnerup seasons in 2021. The Scots were (8-2) last fall, losing the season opening game to perennial power Wartburg College 44-3 and the eventual conference champ, Lake Forest 24-10. Braun has dipped into a pool of a plethora of local talent this past offseason, including former Monmouth-Roseville standout Derek Chandler. Braun is hoping a solid returning group and great local recruiting class can put his football team back on top this fall.
Braun says the tradition of success that the Scots have consistenty enjoyed since the turn of the century can be directly contributed to players taking pride in the program, year-after-year.
Once again this fall, you can find Monmouth College football on the PCSN, with the pregame show starting 20 minutes ahead of kickoff. For more information on Fighting Scots sports, go to their athletic website at monmouthscots.com.
