Menchville played one half of solid football, but had no answer in the second half for Heritage running back Richard Anthony who ran for a score, threw a touchdown pass, and returned a kickoff 94-yards in the Hurricanes 31-6 victory.

Menchville's Odis Wesby got things rolling with a 5-yard touchdown with 11:31 left in the second after Donnell Whitehead recovered a Heritage fumble. But the Monarchs could not overcome their six turnovers and fell to 0-1 on the new season.

My offensive player of the game was Wesby. The senior had a big game scoring the Monarchs only touchdown and rushing for 91-yards on 14 carries. He was also one of the Monarchs leading tacklers on defense.

My defensive player of the game was end Mario Thompson who had a great first half with eight tackles. He combined with Caz McCarthy on a quarterback sack and was also in on the tackle that led to a Heritage fumble at the Canes own 23-yard line. Menchville scored on their next possession.
