Monarch had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took down the Poudre Impalas 29-14 on Friday. This was payback for the Coyotes, who suffered a 27-7 defeat the last time these two teams met.
When it comes to explaining why Poudre lost, one person who can't be blamed is Praise Oluniyi. Despite the final result, he rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. Oluniyi really tore up the turf during one magnificent 96-yard run.
Monarch is taking a road trip to square off against Longmont at 6:45 p.m. on Thursday. As for Poudre, they will host Timnath at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
