Answered is off to the races for his 2nd touchdown of the day.On a day in which Hurricane Hanna threatened to postpone the Delaware Valley Pop Warner season opener, the Monarchs and Matadors decided to play despite the game being officially postpone by league president Raymond Barnes late friday night. I received a call from Matadors president Ray Harris at 7:30am on game day but it was not raining Coach Greg said. And the weather report indicated that the worst part of the storm was going to arrive sometime after 2pm. So me and Mr. Harris decided to play. We contacted the referees and they were more than happy to officiate the game.
The Monarchs dominated the contest from the opening kickoff. And if there was any doubt the Matadors in there second year of existence could compete with the Monarchs it was quickly erased. The Monarchs behind by first year halfback Answered Gleplay scored early and often on the Del-Val Pop Warner new comers. He led the way on offense with touchdown runs of 30, 40 and 50 yards respectively. Answered also had a touchdown run of 95 yards but the play was called back due to a mysterious holding penalty. I'll check the tape, but I did not see a hold coach Greg said after the game. I just think the referees were trying to keep the score respectable.
Eugene Sheppard III started the romp with a 25 yard touchdown run in the first quarter. We just play smash mouth football first year Coach Gene said and the Matadors could not tackle us. Bottom line. Its just like Coach Jamil said last week, opponents are going to have a tough time tackling Answered aka "Lighting" and Eugene aka "Thunder", especially when the offensive line blocks like they did today. It was a total team effort but it started up front with Darius May, Kyle Mayo, Titus Davis, Chris Burke and Kirk Wilson. But what I was most impressed with about today's performance is how the kids corrected the some of the mistakes that they were making last week against the Cats. Although are one miscue resulted in a Matador touchdown I was very proud of these kids today Coach Greg said. And as usual, all are kids played. But more importantly, they gained some much needed experience. This will only help us in the future.
The show rolls on next week when the Monarchs 90lb team travels to original league member and rival the Upper Darby Trojans. They roughed us up pretty good last year because they were bigger than us not better then us Coach Greg said. So we are definitely out to return the favor. Big Time... And you can tell them I said it... See you at Beverly Hills Middle School.
Go Monarchs.....
