#15 Corey Fleming scored one of the many touchdowns for the Tiny Mites. Great Job Corey!

 

Monday August 27th AKA The day after the BIG game

Well ok, It wasn't the BIG game but it was rather BIG for the first timers out there on the field. Monessen played really well against South Allegheny. The flag team played first and nearly shut out South Allegheny until the last quarter. when they were able to run in for two touchdowns. Final Score was 12 to 38.

The Termites played right after... without even a break for the photographer.. not that he needs one in this desert type weather. Where was all the water from last week??? Anyway. Termites didn't get off to a great start by turning over the ball a few times and an interseption pass in the 4th quarter. It was one of the best games I've seen in a while. The little guys in pads held off their opponents in the final moments of the game but just missed the goal the last 36 seconds of the game. "We would have tied if we just would have got that touch down!" Said one sweaty termite. Termites lost 14 to 8.

The next game was the mighty mites. A much rougher crowd.. and louder coaches I might add. Considering they aren't allowed on the field so othey have to do all their screaming aka coaching from the sidelines. Mighty mites stomped South Allegheny with a victory of 20 to 6. I didn't catch the last game as I passed out from heat stroke and had to be rushed to the nearest pool. Anyone catch that score?

I was able to get quite a few good shots for you parents, which you can check out on the photos page. Just click one of the images and browse through the selection.

I do have to say that the parents were getting a bit annoyed at how long we had to wait to get in to the field. Nearly an hour or was it 45 min... The coaches did a great job of keeping their teams in line. We did all of the warm ups.. Stretching.. running in place.. complaining.. out side the gates.


waiting to play...

Monessen comes out ahead! or at least a foot or a hand... Tiny Mites Win 12 to 38, Termites with an upset loss of 14 to 8 South Allegheny. Mighty Mites Win 20 to 6 and due to the extreme hot weather... I had to make an emergency stop at the nearest pool and didn't catch the Midget's Score.

It was just as hot today as it was yesterday... but that didn't stop Monessen from dominating the scoreboard against Waynesburg. Tomorrow the Midget league play their first games against South Allegheny. The first game starts at 9:30.
