I was at Monroe High’s football game last night.
That was a good assignment for a couple of reasons.
First, it was one of the few games in the county that wasn’t delayed by weather and, secondly, the Trojans put on a great show.
Monroe completely dominated a team that came in at 2-0.
Ben Notario had as good a first quarter as you’ll ever see: three touchdowns, hard-running inside, a bone-jarring tackle that forced a fumble and a great one-handed catch.
The Trojan defense was very active, especially the linebackers, and quarterback Willie Jones threw the ball effectively.
There were a couple of silly penalties that frustrated the coaching staff, but all-in-all, it was a terrific way to bounce back from last week’s frustrating loss.
You are correct Monroe was flying around defensively. Notario took a huge step and looks like he is a going to be a powerful back for Monroe the next 2 years! However, Niles you made a mistake it is Willie Johnson not Willie Jones (Blast from the past) Monroe is only 2 inches from being 3-0. Look for Monroe to trounce Truman. But they better not look past them. I heard they played Allen Park tough! One game at a time boys! That Defense looked like a Red Swarm I remember sometime ago but only faster!
