Bountiful Football Week #2

Okay, so I'm a bad mother (in so many ways). I forgot to send the camera to Logan for the varsity game, so no pictures of Evan playing football this week. Varsity beat Logan 40-7, our third win in a row. We are now ranked #1 in the state for 4A schools and many expect us to win the state championship. Evan enjoyed playing offense and defense in the second half.

Jake's game was also at Logan. The sophomores managed to score NINE touchdowns and only gave up one. I don't even know what the score was. We just scored and scored and scored. This is a picture of Jake right after intercepting a Logan pass to give the ball back to Bountiful. It was the only turnover of the game for either team and pretty cool! Jake is the captain of the kick-off team. While the kicker is getting ready, Jake is responsible to talk to the other players in the huddle. He said that by the time Bountiful kicked off for the tenth time in the game he was really out of things to say.

Sam's team played Alta (a very good football school with seven teams in Sam's age group--so you know that their "A" team is gonna be good). It was a nail-biter. We scored a TD in the first half, but missed our extra point. Going into the last two minutes, the score was 6-0 for Bountiful. This is a picture of Sam's interception in the second half when Alta was very close to a touchdown. He also rushed for a first down at an important time in the game. Our defense held and we scored a security touchdown in the last two minutes.

Isaac's team is still learning. It's funny to watch those little squirts run around the field. His team lost 12-6 (the only Parry loser this weekend). He decided in the middle of the game that the little running backs weren't getting yards like we needed them to so he asked his coach right then and there if he could play fullback and get us some yards. Since he hasn't practice there much, his coach declined. It was worth a try though.
