Monarchs vs Oak Lane - Ground Level


On Saturday, Aug 18th the Delco Monarchs hosted there 3rd annual football jamboree. The Monarchs 170lb team scrimmaged the West Oak Lane Wildcats and the Parkside Saints.  Both organizations are members of Liberty Pop Warner which is located in Philadelphia.   As far as the scrimmage, Coach Greg said that the Monarchs held there own against the Wildcats. However, against the Saints we struggled.  I thought coming in Oak Lane would give us fits.  They beat us up pretty good two years ago at there place.  I was pleasantly suprised we went toe to toe with a divison one team.  It was an even game. 

As far as the Saints, it was more or less a numbers game.  They had 40 something kids over there.  They simply wore us down.  And, it got a little testee when the Saints players shouted  "We Ain't Tag'n No More". I thought it was funny Coach Greg said shortly after the scrimmage.  But there a helluva team!  There big, fast and strong.  And they have the numbers to do some damage to anybody.  But I'm not worried or concerned at all Coach Greg said.  I wanted somebody to come in our house and rough us a little bit.  Why???  Cuz, I got some kids wit big heads and today that bubble burst.  Now, I wanna see how my kids respond after getting knocked down.  We got the Golden Mile Scorpions week 1.
