The Monarchs whooped our butts. Thanks for that though. It will only make us better. On to the Vipers in Yakima this week.

I thought the Monarchs and Mavericks game would be closer. The Renagades and Vipers game lived up to the hype it seems like. Bellingham still rolling!

truth is the monarch v mavericks should have been more lopsided. But the Mavs had some success running the ball in the second half which took away some of our offensive touches. While it did get a little chippy at the end, the Mavs played hard to the final whistle, and as much as Cardenas gets under my skin during the game, in retrospect He plays hard and never gives up as do his teammates. Good Luck to the Mavericks the rest of the year

Even tho we the Renegades lost, It was a great time and a great game. Vipers put in work in the second half. We got to see what our newbies were made of.
MAD PROPS to all who put in work and labor to make the Border Wars happen. It is a must do event that teams should be apart of.

Wonder what the score would have been if the game was played in Yakima?

Wonder what the score would have been if the game was played in Yakima? Had the game be played in Yakima and we did not have to be on the road at 6am it might have led to us being more competitive, but that Monarchs team that played on Saturday is one of the best we have ever played (including the 2006 Jags team). We did give up two INTs for TDs and threw another INT and a fumble but props to the Monarchs D for taking advantage. The front 7 of the Monarchs is going to give any team they play problems. They are good. Russ is really good QB as well. We got pressure on him many times yet he bought himself time and threw strikes. Klamath will have their work cut out for them but I will be rooting for them. Gotta love an underdog.

it was the worst game ive been apart of . our defense actually played decent they really didnt move the ball so well . they did throw a bunch oh fades on a cornor who never gets beat . our o got shut down basically all day . as kirby said it could have been worse but if u think about it we threw 2 ints for 6 and they threw a td with minimal time on the clock . like i said before we have a long way to go . they did travel to umatilla , their coach gave them a d report card . id give them a b for our game and a f for us . we;ll make some changes and be much much better . i hope .

No BS Game Assessment on my end. Take it as you will.
Mavericks are a good football team. They play with passion and never quit. The 2 DT, 75 and 99 are beasts. Jesse should lead the league in tackles with those two in front of them. That defense should dominate running teams just because they are so big and play across the LOS.
Most of the Mavs skill players play with good balance and don't shy away from impact. They also take hits very well and if you don't wrap up, you will just bounce off.
As far as, 'it could have been worse', that's crap in my opinion. We couldn't run the ball as well as we normally do because the Mavs defense didn't let us. There are no ifs, ands, or buts. Effectively, the Mavericks shut down our running game. We got no push up the middle and most of the run game was played in the Monarch backfield behind the line of scrimmage.
Any team who relies on the run heavily will have a difficult time against that defense unless they can throw.
