Are You Ready for Some Football?

First weekend of the football season! Loved it (mostly)!

Isaac (#60) played his first game ever. He had a blast and, as usual, bossed everyone around. He played every single play of the game and even stripped the ball while playing defense, causing a fumble, which was recovered by Bountiful. His team won 6-0.

Sam (#25) played his first game on his newly formed "A" team. He played a mean cornerback, preventing a two-point conversation on a nasty hit. He also played a lot of offense at wing. Sam's Brave team lost, which surprised everyone because they were expected to go undefeated. This week was just a scrimmage though, so they can still win all their regular games.

Jake (#33) played his first sophomore game, which is his first high school game! He played almost every play on both sides of the ball and said it was the most physically demanding three hours of his life. He played tight end on offense and linebacker on defense. He nearly blocked a PAT, but the highlight for mom was when the defense played a play with ten men on the field because Jake forgot to go out. The sophs played a combined sophomore/JV Spanish Fork team and lost in OT.

Evan (#52) is still reeling from his snake bite. It put him behind after missing 11 practices. He played a little bit in the Lone Peak game last week, but not this week. We're hoping he's back in the rotation next week at Logan. The varsity Braves are 2-0 and Evan has been very supportive of his friends. I am proud that he is a good teammate. We cheered Mitch and Ben onto touchdowns and Thomas and Helam were all over the field!
