Somebody's "O" was suspposed to go in last Saturday's contest between the Monarchs and the Chester Township Cougars. Neither's did not that day anyway. Instead, both organizations settled for a tie. The final score was 12 - 12.
I'm not pleased at all Coach Greg said.. But on the flip side, I'm not totally dissatisfied either. I merely loathe ties. How is it that in a battle you say let's throw away our weapons and call it a tie?? Both teams resembled that remark and now they both have a symbol of apathy to show for it in the standings 1-0-1.
The Chester Township Cougars, the newcomers to Delaware Valley Pop Warner, did there best to impress and tried to show the Monarchs that their 21-12 upset of the Upper Darby Trojans two weeks ago was not a fluke. I figured they would be good Coach Greg said. They are recruiting kids from all over the city of Chester and there is bound to be some football talent down there somewhere even though Chester is known for its high school basketball program.
With that being said, the Cougars jumped out to an early 6-0 lead, after the Monarchs opening possession stalled at the 50 yard line. The Monarchs tied the game on a efficient but time consuming drive on there next offensive possession. Newcomers George Korti did the honors with a 5 yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. Chester subsequently took a 12 - 6 lead on there next offensive possession. On the ensuing kick off, George Korti scampered 70 yards to notch the score at 12 apiece.
It was a dogfight from there with neither team backing down. Chester was fast but the Monarchs were physicial coach Greg said matter of factly. And once we adjusted to there speed and starting smacking them around a little bit Chester's pulse slowed considerably. After the game, Coach Gene barked "this is unfinished business today" and "we will see these guys again down the road". Bottom Line...
Next week the Monarchs will be home against league rivial the Upper Darby Trojans. As always this will be a heated contest. This is the first time in four years that the Trojans will visit "The Moose". Game times are as follows: 90's = 10am, 105's = 12noon, 135's = 2pm and 160's = 4pm.
Come Out and Support the home team!!!!!! Also, be sure to rock your purple or gold Monarchs tee shirts. FYI, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, GET ONE!!!! THEY ARE ONLY $10 BUCKS...
