The Junior Billies began the 2025 season with a 6-6 tie in a junior scrimmage back on August 19.
In their first official contest of the season, the Junior Billies would travel to Fordyce to play in a 2 pm contest with temperatures in the high 90’s, falling to the Junior Redbugs by two points to start the season 0-1.
In their first home contest, the Junior Billies showed just what the rest of the 2025 season may look like as they upset the McGehee Junior Owls before beginning the conference season on September 11 at home against DeWitt in a 30-16 win.
A dominant road win over Crossett would come next followed by a 34-14 win over Hamburg.
Monticello would remain perfect in conference with a 44-30 win over Warren followed by a win over Star City and finally securing the conference title with the 28-20 win at Stuttgart.
The Junior Billies will attempt to remain undefeated in conference play in their final contest of the season, hosting the Helena Junior Cougars at Hyatt Field.
Kickoff is set for 6 pm.
