Monarchs Run All Over North Philly

After a scoreless first quarter, a Monarchs trick play ended all hope for the North Philly Hurricanes.  Wide out A. Simons took a reverse from halfback A. Gleplay and sprinted 45 yards to the end zone and the rout was on.  The Monarchs put up 21 unanswered points and dominated the Hurricanes 21-0 to post there first win of the season.  Even with the decisive victory, the Monarchs coaches emphasized being "Better" after the game.  We want to play better no matter who we're playing coach Greg said.  We got to play better coach Tone barked. We turned the ball over twice and we gave up a huge pass play late in the second quarter.  We almost awoke a sleeping giant. 

To be fair, the Monarchs offense looked pretty clean except for the two miscues and the defensive turned in a stalwart performance.  They were outstanding and discipline one referee commented after the contest.

On the other side, North Philly has nothing to be ashamed of.  Truth be told, they slowed up a budding juggernaut up until the fourth quarter.  "We need to show a little more pride" one Hurricane player said after the game.  We need to show that even though we're down, we're going to keep our heads up. 

The Monarchs 105's will be on the road Sunday morning to face the North Philly Aztec at the brand new Team Vick Field located on 9th and Hunting Park.

HOW BOUT THEM MONARCHS!!!!!!
