Monarchs Get Rude Awakening at Chester...

Sometimes a team can't catch a break all game. Sometimes a team can't make the most out of the breaks they get. That was the case for the Monarchs last night as they settled for a 13-13 tie in a non league contest against the Chester Panthers from the Delco Football League. Simply stated, as self assured as the Monarchs looked in their 26-6 pasting of the Hark Knock Steelers two weeks ago, they looked like kids on the corner waiting for the light to change against the Chester Panthers.

I am not pleased at all Coach Greg barked after the game. Matter fact, I'm totally dissatisfied. I loathe ties. How is it that, in a battle, you can say let's throw our weapons away and call it a tie? The Monarchs resembled that remark. They through there weapons away. And now they have a symbol of apathy to show for it in the standing. There record is now 3-0-1.

Coach Greg did not edit his sighs. We stunk tonight. That's all. Period. We did not execute. We did not make the most of our opportunities. We simply made too many mistakes. And these mistakes were not in one specific area. We had breakdowns in all three phases of the game (Special teams, Offense and Defense). We live and die in all three aspects of the game. "I feel sorry for them (Chester)," Coach Greg added. They played an excellent game. They were hungry, more determined and they should have won.

Offensively, the Monarchs were led by half back S. Zeon (13 carries - 75 yards) and tight end L. Cambridge (2 receptions - 40 yards - 2TD's). The normally high octane and high powered Monarchs offense was slowed down by three fumbles and an interception on the goal line. The timing was off and they just looked rusty Coach Tone said. The two weeks off absolutely killed us. We was supposed to play Levittown last week. They called us for a game then they subsequently back out stating they need to rest there kids. Go figure???

Next week in the season finale, the Monarchs host the league "KING-PIN" the undefeated Eastwick Dynasty Dragons. They dislike us. And we dislike them. Coach Gene said. Why??? Cuz they got "Big Heads" ova there on 69th and Grovers Ave. They have let a little bit of success go to there head. There not all that...

Game time next week against the Dragons is as follows:

75's - 10am

105's - 12 Noon

135's - 2:00pm

160's - 4:30pm

Come out and support the Monarchs..................
