Shorewood Monarchs: No Lockouts, Just Football

Team is a member of the semi-pro Ironman Football League.

Posted by Matt Schroeder (Editor), July 20, 2011 at 11:09 am

The Shorewood Monarchs are a member of the 10-team Ironman Football League, a semi-pro adult tackle football league. Some players participated in college at the Division I level, others had no football experience at all before joining the league. More common are those who played only in high school, or then at a small college.

On a recent sweltering Sunday, Patch visited the Monarchs game against the Wauwatosa Spartans to learn more about the people who play this game.

Wow great update Matt. Really interesting...I wish the NFL would realize what a good thing they have and end this lockout.

Obviously not many animals but there are squirrels and rabbits and other native mammals. Not to mention the kids at the play area. Most adult humans can handle an occasional wiff of a pesticide but not children or animals. I have held several pesticide licenses in my day so I have had much course work on this. I am surprised the village has done this but I know restoration is about to begin - again - on the bluff and perhaps they are trying to rid the bluff of all the weeds. It is a shame that the 15+ kids they hire every year can't be up there weeding instead. I don't know what else they could be doing as the village has reduced the amount of annual flower beds that need to be maintained.
