The Deerfield Beach Bucks are taking a road trip to challenge the Monarch Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Deerfield Beach's offense might be in the hot seat on Thursday considering what happened against Piper on Friday. They came up short against the Bengals, falling 23-0. The defeat leaves the Bucks without a win on the season.
Meanwhile, Monarch gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They slipped by Peachtree Ridge 30-29.
Samari Reed had a dynamite game for Monarch, rushing for 122 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Another reason for the win was Monarch's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Leading the way was Romando Johnson and his two. Another thorn in Peachtree Ridge's side was Dj Copeland, who picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Things could have been worse for Deerfield Beach, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 14-0 loss to Monarch in their previous matchup back in November of 2023. Can Deerfield Beach avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
