Yesterday, the young Delco Monarchs stepped onto the football for the first this season. They traveled to 25th and Jackson streets to pay the South Philly Hurricanes an annual visit. The monarchs flexed there muscles early and scored on there second offensive play from scrimmage, Quarterback AJ Madden Jr. hit split end E. Freeman in the seem for a 40 yard TD pass and catch. After the early score, the monarchs offense appeared to be on auto pilot for the rest of the afternoon. After the scrimmage, Coach Greg could only shake his head. I'm not disappointed with the performance but I'm not happy either. We simply did not take advantage of our opportunities. I think it was an average performance coach Tone barked. I know we are better than this. Well, I hope we are better this. We just made too many mistakes. We had three turnovers on offense and we dropped a interception on defense. Good teams will make you pay for that. We got lucky to day. Very lucky.
In other game action against the 'Caines , the Monarchs 145's fell 18- 6 while the 105's where shut out 12 - 0. The 145's appeared to struggle early with the hurricanes size and speed. However, after a few adjustments QB B. Parker Jr. hooked up E. Jefferson for a 40 yard bomb and halfback T. Harmon sprinted for 50 TD run. As far the 105's, they struggle both on offense and defense. Backup QB T. Norton and new comers S. Ryals, C. Bullard, H. Freeman, C. Pelzer and H. Taylor all play well.
The Monarchs open up the season next week. The 105's and 145's host the Chester Township Cougars, while the 120's open up the Nu Dae Spartans.
SEE YOU AT THE MOOSE!!!! THE GAMES WILL START AT 12 NOON.
