The blast wasn't sudden. It did not force a quick evacuation of partisan 69th street wildcats fans from there home field, didn't immediately leave there players among the unliving and scattered the pieces no further than a preseason loss. Yes, the 69th Street bubble burst at the clenched hands of the Delco Monarchs who yesterday pinned the Wildcats, 18 -6 in a outter conference scrimmage.
From the effects, the Wildcats suffered no apparent permanent damage just a little blood and maybe a bruised ego. I explained to the kids, prior to the scrimmage that teams from Bert Bell and the Delco football leagues do not respect our program. They do not respect Delaware Valley Pop Warner football because we are a fairly new league. So to us, Coach Greg said, this scrimmage was all about respect. Bottom line.
Things did not look good early for the Monarchs who looked visibly disturbed by the size of the Wildcats. I asked Coach Charles to check to see if we were about to play the right team, because from the naked eye, they were huge. There coach insisted that his team was the proper weight and that they had an "A & B" team. So at roughly quarter to seven the game began. The Monarchs look out of sync the first ten plays. We just could not generate any positive yards Coach Greg said. And when decided to go to the passing attack, they picked it off and took it to the house. That proved to be the Wildcats only score of the evening.
Next, the defense took the field. Then, the temperment of the game suddenly changed. The Monarchs got physical and started to rough up the bigger and stronger Wildcats. They appeared to unravel Coach Charles said. Our defensive schemes confused there offense linemen. They did not know who to block. That was the beginning of the end for the Wildcats.
On the Monarchs next offensive possession, they found there rhythm. The Monarchs scored on two separate occasions during the next ten plays. K Shuler scampered off tackle for a 20 yard touchdown run and S. Zeon galloped 30 yards for a touchdown three plays later. The defense took the field again and continued to pressure and force the Wildcats into mostly negative plays. One of the plays resulted in a fumble in which the Monarchs recovered. S Zeon was on his way to the house before the play was blown dead.
The defense looked great tonight Coach Greg said. It got us going big time. We got pressure from the entire defensive unit. It was just a great performance and a total team effort but we still have a few things to work on if we want to be a contender in our league. With teams like the C.A.T.S, neighborhood rival the Trojans, and defending league champ the Dynasty on the horizon, I refuse to let the kids get complacent. We still got a lot hard work in front of us but I think we will be okay.
The Monarchs 120's are scheduled to play the Blackhawks (Liberty Pop Warner) on Tuesday Aug 26th. The Blackhawks field is located at 11th and Cecil B. Moore avenue in Philadelphia.
Go MONARCHS!!!!!
