A few people gave the Monarchs a chance when they took on the North Philly Aztecs Sunday at Team Vick Field located at 9th and Hunting Park. Coach Keith and his players, in turn, embraced the challenge. Because win or loose, the players realized the spot light North Philly brings. The Aztecs are one of the most successful and most feared teams in the city of Philadelphia. Fortunately, the Delco Monarchs reside in Darby Borough which is located in Delaware County. And reputations mean nothing according to Coach Greg. Why? Because its rough out here too. Times is tough on Main Street not Broad Street Coach Tone stated.
As far as the game, the win sparks what could be the start of something special. It was a decisive victory. The offense was humming all morning long and J. Gbaley led the way with 10 carries and 120 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. F. Darko Jr also pitched in and added another 60 punishing yards as both kids proved to be very tough to tackle. On defense, quarterback/defensive back AJ Madden Jr led the charge with several solo tackles and a pick 6. Madden, casually stepped in front of an errand pass and took it 50 yards to pay dirt. Coach Greg told me to watch the waggle pass out the back field AJ stated afterwards.
Bottom line, we scouted them Coach Keith said. We knew they were a single wing team and we prepared for that all week. We had a pretty good idea of what they like to do. And when they attempted to pass, we felt like they were out of there comfort zone. But this is one game Coach Keith said. It feels good right now, but we have our business to attend too.
The Monarchs 105's have a bye this week and but they will hit the road next Saturday against the Blackhawks. Game time and location TBA.

Monarchs Run All Over North Philly
After a scoreless first quarter, a Monarchs trick play ended all hope for the North Philly Hurricanes. Wide out A. Simons took a reverse from halfback A. Gleplay and sprinted 45 yards to the end zone and the rout was on. The Monarchs put up 21 unanswered points and dominated the Hurricanes 21-0 to post there first win of the season. Even with the decisive victory, the Monarchs coaches emphasized being "Better" after the game. We want to play better no matter who we're playing coach Greg said. We got to play better coach Tone barked. We turned the ball over twice and we gave up a huge pass play late in the second quarter. We almost awoke a sleeping giant.
To be fair, the Monarchs offense looked pretty clean except for the two miscues and the defensive turned in a stalwart performance. They were outstanding and discipline one referee commented after the contest.
On the other side, North Philly has nothing to be ashamed of. Truth be told, they slowed up a budding juggernaut up until the fourth quarter. "We need to show a little more pride" one Hurricane player said after the game. We need to show that even though we're down, we're going to keep our heads up.
The Monarchs 105's will be on the road Sunday morning to face the North Philly Aztec at the brand new Team Vick Field located on 9th and Hunting Park.

Monarchs Take Down West Philly
I. Mills stood in the Delco Monarchs vaunted Power I formation and behind center for the first time this season. Barely visible but definitely audible Mills calmly barked the cadence to get the offensive going. What happened next was the Monarchs proceeded to rout the West Philly Panthers 36-6 in this non league scrimmage.
Mills debut created the perfect storm of anticipation as the 4 foot 5 quarterback made is first start after E. Musue abruptly moved to Texas last week. I was shocked when Musue's mother told me that they had to move because of a family emergency coach Greg said. The kids were kinda shocked too. But the show doesn't stop and football games still have to played coach Tone said.
Aside from a fumble and few errand passes, it was a smooth debut for I. Mills. Offensively, the Monarchs all everything tailback T. Harmon lead the way with five touchdowns. He caught one pass and had four on the ground and caused the panthers fits all day. Truth be told, he just received some good block by his teammates and especially down field Coach Tone said. It was just that simple. We also took advantage of the defensive scheme the Panthers were trying to employ. Its pitch and catch when you have that many people in the box.
The regular season starts next week as the Monarchs will travel to play against the Black Hawks division two team.
