No Promises from the Top Coach

Well folk's, its that time of year to talk football, Delco Monarchs Football to be exact.  so we stopped by Monarchs Mini Camps to talk to the Monarchs skipper to get his prospective on the 2013 football season.  Well as always, its a struggle coach Greg said, it a struggle to get kids out here especially when you are surrounded by other organizations with more history but not necessary greatness.  They do a lot of trashing talking in "Dodge City" aka Darby Boro but we know the real deal Coach Tone the newly appointed lieutenant said.  Quiet as kept, we roughed up quiet a few Delco teams last year and the so called beef with the team on the other side of Main Street is not a beef because we never played and we never will.  We are not interested playing kids from the same town and in the same school district.  If we were smart, we would combine and bring Darby back to what it use to be in football  which was a powerhouse.  And those who know there history, the team was know as the Darby-Colwyn Rams.

Now with that being said, let get into this season.  The Monarchs are loaded at the skill positions and have a number of kids returning on each weight class.  The 105's are led by E. Gleplay, C. Soe, top new comer AJ Madden Jr.  Meanwhile, the 120's are led by E.Musue, T. Harmon, N. Brooker , G. Flahn.  The 145's are led by M. Saccoh, M. Starchia Jr., N. Butts, and top new comer A. Wood.  Lastly, the 170's are lea by TJ Harmon, A. Gleplay, A Wagay, and Z. Sheriff to name a few. In my opinion, we are loaded with talent but we may lack the discipline needed to be champs of our league.  I could be wrong.  Matter, I hope I'm wrong but we will be tested soon enough as the rugged West Philly Panthers and South Philly Hurricanes (Liberty Pop Warner) are scheduled to pay the Monarchs a visit this year.  Also, the Drexel Hill Raiders (Bert Bell ) supposedly inquired about some work.

Lastly, there are some new faces roaming the monarchs bench this year.  Gone is Coach Gene, who moved on to the Keystone Stone Oilers.  Added is Coach Ron and Coach Tim.  Coach Ron use to coach semi-pro and he brings mental toughness and work ethic to the fold. Coach Tim, played college ball a Wesley College and he will be in charge of getting the monarchs linemen in shape and ready to work.

Let See What Happens!!!!!!
