Cortez' TD run the lone bright spot in loss to Dean Monroe goes down 31-7
Cortez' TD run the lone bright spot in loss to Dean
Monroe goes down 31-7
By Gary Axelbank
BRONX, NEW YORK, September 10- The Monroe Mustangs football team was served a 31-7 dose of reality by the Dean Bulldogs, the top team in the NEFC conference. The loss evens the Mustangs' first-year record to 1-1.
Monroe's best moment in the game came at the beginning of the third quarter as freshman QB Manny Cortz took off from his own seven yard line and ran it 93 yards for a thrilling touchdown, pulling Monroe to a 13-7 score. But the Bulldogs' size and experience was the difference the rest of the way and they tallied 18 unanswered points, shattering any hopes the Mustangs had of what would have been a remarkable upset.
“Dean is the standard-bearer in our conference and they showed us why today,” said Coach Terry Karg. “We felt like we were in it early on and Manny's run was a great moment, but we are a young program with a lot of growing and learning to do. Disappointed? Yes, somewhat. Discouraged? Not at all.”
Dean dominated on offense. Though they held a 265-205 yards rushing advantage over Monroe, their main statistical difference was in passing yardage. Monroe had 70 yards passing (10-18-2), but Dean racked up 150 yards in the air (10-17-1).
Cortez was Monroe's best rusher of the day with 126 yards, 93 of which came on the TD run. Finding no one open, the versatile and creative Cortez tucked it under his arm, juked his way past the line, found a bit of daylight, then angled toward the right flag and crossed the goal line, untouched. It was his second TD run of the season. He had the first TD in Monroe history in the season-opening win over Wagner.
The task will not get any easier for Monroe as they will play their home opener at SUNY Maritime's Reinhart Field against the #2 conference team, the Nassau Lions next Saturday afternoon beginning at 12:00 p.m.

BP Calls on Community to Stand Up to Gun Violence
By Dan Gesslein
BRONX, NEW YORK, September 7- As police release surveillance video of the men suspected of wounding an infant with a stray bullet, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. is calling on all Bronxites to stop the violence.
In a statement, the BP is calling on residents in all Bronx communities to be a part of his “Peace in our Streets” initiative on September 22.
“Please volunteer your time and work with us to take as many illegal guns off of our streets by helping provide information to fellow Bronxites about ways they can make their neighborhoods safer,” Diaz said. “I also urge all Bronxites with knowledge of illegal guns in their community to call 866-GUN-STOP to anonymously report those guns to the police.”
The BP’s plea comes in the wake of two high-profile acts of gun violence. On Tuesday, Lamin Sillah, a 28-year-old immigrant from Gambia, was shot and killed when two men tried to rob the gas station he worked at.
The following day, two-month-old Trayvon Bunson was grazed by a bullet while sitting in his stroller in Hunts Point. Cops say the infant was hit in the shoulder when the gunmen opened fire on their intended target. Investigators released surveillance video of the suspected gunmen fleeing the scene.
"I speak for all Bronxites as we keep Lamin Sellah in our prayers and hope for little Trayvon Bunson's quick recovery,” Diaz said.
"Ending gun violence has been a top priority of mine and I know it is a national problem. Unfortunately, despite our good work, too many firearms end up in the wrong hands both through legal and illegal means. We must all unite in putting an end to this senseless act of violence so we can better prevent these crimes and protect innocent people across our city and nation,” the borough president concluded.
