Monarchs Run Over Matadors


Sometimes statistics lie. Sometimes they don't. Yesterday, facing the winless Yeadon Matadors, the statistics did not lie as the Monarchs ran wild in front of the home fans in neighboring Darby Borough. Marquise Moody ( 6 carries 105 yards ) and Joey "Big Joe" Zahnee led the way with two touchdowns apiece. Marquise's touchdown runs covered 40 and 60 yards repectively while Big Joey bullied his way into the end zone with TD runs of 2 and 8 yards. Quarterback Sam Korti joined the party too as he rushed for nearly 70 yards and a touchdown as the Monarchs coasted to a 34 - 0 victory.

There wasn't much for Coach Greg James to gripe about after whipping the Matadors yesterday. The Monarchs scored on every offensive posession and the defense led by Alvis Strocen and newcomer Walter Freeman was up to its usually stingy self. But, for the record, Coach Greg did chose two "stupid penalties" to briefly harp on. Of which, one of those penalities resulted in a 50 yard touchdown pass to Emanual Jaidah being called back. Coach Mark cautioned the kids not to get "Big Heads" because things came easy for them today straight up. We just can't afford to get over confident for real especially with the Eastwick Dynasty Dragons and the Chester Township Cougars looming on our schedule. The Matadors were just a tune up bottom line.

FYI players, parents and fans, no matter how well a team performs, coaches always look for improvement. It's just their nature. Without that basic instinct, success would elude them.

Next week, the Monarchs organization will travel to the league powerhouse and reigning 90lb & 135lb king pin the Eastwick Dynasty Dragons. This ought to be interesting contest Coach Greg said. They roughed us up pretty good last year so we are definitely looking foward to returning the favor especially at there homecoming. I'm not one for bulleting board material Coach Jamil said, but they should not have invited us. We want to crash the party all day.

GAME TIME IS AS FOLLOWS: 90'S @ 10AM, 105'S @ 12noon, 135'S @ 2PM and 160'S @ 4PM. The Dragons are located at 69th and Groovers.

AND IF YOUR COMING TO THE GAME, BE SURE TO ROCK YOU PURPLE & GOLD TEE SHIRTS AND THE DYNASTY KNOW THAT THE MONARCHS ARE OFFICALLY IN THE HOUSE.....
