Game 4 vs Superstition Sin Nombres

Monsoon Rolls On!!!

Another victory goes in the books 23-6

As suspected this team was quite a bit better than our previous opponents, but desire, coupled with great training, and awesome coaching again triumphed in the end.

The first half was a little shaky again, but with some half time adjustments our boys came out with renewed energy and dominated both sides of the ball.

Onward to next week and another game in "OUR HOUSE"

Game 3 vs. Mesa Eastern Moccasins

Another resounding victory!!!!

34-0

The team was a little flat in the first half, but a couple of long plays from the offense, a little razzle-dazzle, and we were well on our way to another win.

The defense got off to a shaky start as well, allowing several first downs on the opening drive, but settled down to come away with another shut out.

Stand out performances were made by several players, awesome effort by all.

OK, cupcakes are over, time to buckle down and get ready for some better teams. I know our team will be ready for the challenge.

GO MONSOON!

Game 2 vs. Superstition Phoenix

Another victory for Monsoon football!!!

In a spirited display of smash mouth, monsoon football, our boys emerged victorious over the Superstition Phoenix, 25-6

While numerous penalties did slow down our offense and help out theirs, our team showed their resolve to end up with a decisive win.

*On a personal note*

I was kind of upset about getting scored upon, I don't think this is the end of the world or anything, but it would have been nice if they actually did score. Our defense had an awesome goal line stand, congratulations to our defense. After some thought and conversation with several of the parents and coaches, I agree with coach Thompson, The "unscored upon" business is over, time to move on. We have a great team and in many ways I think even better than last year, so being scored on now may be a blessing in disguise. Now is the time to work hard at practice, and get ready for the next opponent.

Rant over, thanks for the indulgence.

Game 1 vs. Rustlers

Here we go again!!!!

After a heartbreaking loss to end the magical championship season we had last year,

MONSOON FOOTBALL is back!!!!

The game against the Scottsdale Rustlers proved to be a great begining with a decisive victory 34-0. In a display of dominant defense, and clock work offense, and great special team play, our boys took up right where they left off, sending a message to all, Monsoon are back!!!! and ready to have another great season!!!

All the boys played great and showed what great coaching, hard work, and awesome desire can do on the field.

Little Scholars

On Saturday evening the Arizona State Sun Devils honored the Pop Warner Little scholars at half time of their season opener against NAU. A great time was had by all that attended, the boys got to meet "Sparky" and see the Sun Devils rout the Lumber Jacks.

A big high "5" to Gary Smith, Bubba Thompson, and Cody Manning for their hard work in the classroom as well as on the football field. Way to go guys!!!!

Week 4 / second scrimmage

The last week of every day practice is behind us and much like last week the scrimmage was a success. There were no injuries, we scored more than they did, and had several turnovers. So, even though this team was much better and faster, our boys were up to the task, and many valuable lessons were learned. And don't forget this team as we will see them later in the season.

Now on to the regular season opener against the Scottsdale Rustlers. The teams from Scottsdale are always well coached and physical. This will be a good test to see how our boys will do this season. I don't know anything more about them but I am sure coach Mike will have some nuggets for us all at the parent meeting on Tuesday.

Also, great news regarding C.J. Raidy. Thanks for the update from the Raidy nation. Looking forward to seeing C.J. on the sidelines to help out our new Quarterback!!!

Get well soon my friend!!!!!
