The Monroe Area boys basketball team is off to its hottest start in years, but the Hurricanes’ impressive record picked up its first blemish of the season over the weekend.

Monroe Area traveled to Hart County for the McDonald’s shootout, where the Hurricanes faced teams from northeast Georgia, but also southwestern South Carolina as well. The Canes started off with a strong win against Hillcrest (SC) before suffering their first two losses of the season against Riverside Academy and Hart County.
