Yesterday, the Kingsessing Roadrunners from Liberty Pop Warner (Philadelphia) paid a visit to the Delco Monarchs. On this relatively cool summer evening, things heated up pretty fast between these two organizations. From the first play from scrimmage, I knew my kids were ready Coach Greg said. They gave me this look in the huddle like lets get it on. From the naked eye, the Roadrunners appeared to have a few kids a little heavier than the 120lb pound weight limit. But since this was preseason scrimmage, I chose not to bring out the scale. Everybody has a few heavy kids in the preseason. Plus, it all boils down to heart, desire, and the will to win.
Led by W. Womack, N. Baker, S. Zeon and K Cryor, the Monarchs shut down the Roadrunners power I offensive attack. We scrimmage them last year, Coach Greg said. So I had a pretty good idea of what they like to do. They line up and run right at you, then they try to pass. It's smash mouth football nothing fancy. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by my defensive linemen. They pretty much controlled if not dominated there gap assignments. We had good pursuit, there was a lot of gang tackling and we caused quite a few turnovers. Our defensive really got after it today.
The offensive was led by S. Zeon who carried the ball 5 times for approximately 50 yards and 1 touchdown. We looked sharp on offense our first ten plays from scrimmage but then after the touchdown, we seem to sputter a little bit. So, its back to the drawing come Wednesday Coach Greg said. We got exactly two days before we travel to the always dangerous and always talented 69th Street Wildcats of the Bert Bell Memorial Football conference. With the win, the Monarchs 120lb team raised there preseason record t 2 -0.
Go Monarchs....
