Monarchs Roll Over Saints 34 - 6

By any measuring stick, the grades for the Monarchs opening day 34-6 win over the Saints should go down as as incomplete considering the caliber of the its opponent. The Saints are just in there second year of Pop Warner Football while the Monarchs are beginning there sixth year of competition.

With that being said the Monarchs next opponent, the Clifton Height Jaguars aren't expected to provide much more of a test then the Saints. The Jaguars just the like the Saint are also in there second year of existence. The biggest thing with new organizations is trying to figure out what offensive and defensive system they use. Sometimes its hard especially if we don't get a chance to scout them but its funny though because a lot of new teams come into this league with the mind set that they are going to dominate right away but it does happen. Then they find out very soon how competitve the Del - Val league really is.

Last Saturday, the Saints found out the hard way as they were rudely welcomed to the league. Newcomer George Korti led the way with a six touchdown performance as the Monarchs pounded the Saints with a relentless ball controlled attack. We got our running game going early and often Coach Greg said. And when they put eight men in the box to stop the run we went to the air. It was just a good day.

Defensively, the Monarchs were up to there usually stingy self. Kids were flying all over the place making plays. But most of all there was a lot of gang tackling going on out there today which is always good thing. And, we only had one mental breakdown today Coach Mark said. A Saint's receiver managed to get behind the coverage which set up there lone touchdown of the day. Other then that, it was a rap. We got a lot of pressure on them today Coach Greg said. And overall, it was a good way to start the season.
