A few people gave the Monarchs a chance when they took on the North Philly Aztecs Sunday at Team Vick Field located at 9th and Hunting Park. Coach Keith and his players, in turn, embraced the challenge. Because win or loose, the players realized the spot light North Philly brings. The Aztecs are one of the most successful and most feared teams in the city of Philadelphia. Fortunately, the Delco Monarchs reside in Darby Borough which is located in Delaware County. And reputations mean nothing according to Coach Greg. Why? Because its rough out here too. Times is tough on Main Street not Broad Street Coach Tone stated.
As far as the game, the win sparks what could be the start of something special. It was a decisive victory. The offense was humming all morning long and J. Gbaley led the way with 10 carries and 120 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. F. Darko Jr also pitched in and added another 60 punishing yards as both kids proved to be very tough to tackle. On defense, quarterback/defensive back AJ Madden Jr led the charge with several solo tackles and a pick 6. Madden, casually stepped in front of an errand pass and took it 50 yards to pay dirt. Coach Greg told me to watch the waggle pass out the back field AJ stated afterwards.
Bottom line, we scouted them Coach Keith said. We knew they were a single wing team and we prepared for that all week. We had a pretty good idea of what they like to do. And when they attempted to pass, we felt like they were out of there comfort zone. But this is one game Coach Keith said. It feels good right now, but we have our business to attend too.
The Monarchs 105's have a bye this week and but they will hit the road next Saturday against the Blackhawks. Game time and location TBA.
