Now that's more like it!!!




Was it the killer practice on Monday? The film session on Thursday? Who knows, all I know is that was some vintage, rockem-sockem Monsoon football on Saturday!!! The team was firing on all cylinders right from the opening whistle, and didn't let up until the final seconds when we scored the final points to finish the best overall game so far 38-0. Offense was a step or two better this week, and moved the ball pretty much at will. There were three turnovers,however that did stop some nice drives. Defense was awesome as usual, with two safetys, and I don't think we allowed a single first down all game!!
Overall a great effort, and a nice bounce back from a very flat performance the week before. Great job Fellas!!!
4-0 Monsoon rolls on!!!

Man that was UGLY!!!




And I mean UGLY, with a capitol "UG" !!!
In contrast to last weeks game, this week was almost a disaster. Battling a team we all thought would be a cupcake, the Wolves turned out to be anything but. Our defense played almost their usual stellar game, but the offense just couldn't seem to find their rhythm until that one drive in the 3rd quarter when we finally did score, sealing the victory 8-0. We had a tough practice on Monday and a busy hectic week ahead, all our boys need to get their heads right and be ready to play another tough opponent this Saturday.
Once again thanks to the Tafoyas and the Holmbergs for this weeks pics. Don't forget to scroll down to see some more from the game!!!

WOW!!!




That is what I said, WOW!!!
With a start that completely ran the spectrum of emotions, the opponents score on the first play from scrimmage, and an awesome kick return for a score for us, this game was all we could ask for and then some!! As we suspected, the Falcons were a big, hard hitting team that is well coached and very talented. They gave our team a great battle on every snap of the ball. Once the fireworks of the opening seconds were over, both teams settled down for some good smash mouth football. The first half had no more scoring with both teams unable to get much going on offense. The second half was pure vintage Monsoon football!! The offense moved the ball steadily down the field and consumed much of the clock. There were a couple of missed opportunities, but overall, an excellent performance resulting in the second touch down of the day. The defense really stepped up on several occasions in the second half. The Falcons put together a nice little drive only to be denied again and again by our smothering play. Then with little time left, our offense got the required yardage to run out the clock and seal the victory 12-8.
Every single player should be proud of their efforts on Saturday. While some players stand out by scoring touchdowns, making interceptions, or just being in high profile positions, never ever forget that without all of you men in the trenches, none of that could happen, period. That's what makes the Monsoon such a great TEAM! Great game by all!!!!!

P.S. Thanks again to Fred and Jackie Tafoya, and also to the Holmbergs for pics this week. Be sure to scroll down past the post to see more pics from both games so far!!!!
