Granstville Vs. Defending State Champions Bear River

This week we played Bear River. Sorry that there are no action pictures or atleast pictures of me on the field, but that is not my fault. Anywho, So the J.V. game went pretty well in the first half with the halftime score being 18-0. But for some reason it seems that our JV can only play one half at full speed because in the second half they started making a little bit of a come back but we still won 28-18. The dumbest part of the whole game is that i only went in for 2 plays, In practice I was in almost every play on scout d and still I barely played on thurday.

The Varsity is a little bit more of a story this week believe it or not. The halftime score was 2o-6 with Bear River ahead. Now I'm going to go to the last 2 minutes of the game because that is the only interesting part. So it is tied up 20-20 with 1:58 to go and it is 4th and 6 with us at the 8 yard line. We try and kick a field goal for the first time all season including PATs so we were really nervous. So were all on the sideline watching and it goes in so we go crazy. 23-20 with us ahead with 1:48 to go. We kick it off and tackle them on there 20 yard line. On 1st down they throw an incomplete pass same with 2nd and 3rd, so it is 4th down and 10 with 58 seconds remaining. On 4th down they run a QB sneak and get it. So they complete some passess to get too the 12 yard line with 13 seconds to go. We thought this would be the last play of the game, nevertheless they threw an imcomplete pass, We start celebrating and then look at the clock only to see 2 seconds to go. 2 seconds to go on the 12 yard line. There quarterback is scrambling and barely gets a pass off then gets leveled( which is awsome to see when it is the last play of the game) ball in the air and gets batted down WE WIN!!!. It was pretty awsome. But the bus ride home was another story. The varstiys but was leaking anti-freeze so we had to cram onto our bus for 2 hours untill we got home. The funniest thing about this though is that we beat the worst team in 3a by 3 points, and we beat the defending state champs by 3. ha ha, ok then. The freshman were the only ones to lose there score was 39-13. Brett said they played really bad though. One last thing we had a 7:00 P.m. practice on Tuesday because of parent teacher confrenses. Coach said we would "condense" it to 2 hours, Ha, nobody believed him. we got done with practice at 9:45 because of a Curfew that you can't practice past 10:00. And it was 40 degrees out there so that didn't help.

Grantsville Vs. Logan

This week we played Logan Freshman were at home and J.V. was in Logan. The outcome of all the games Thursday and Friday weren't so great. At the J.V. game I think we were a little over confident because of how well "Scout D" does in practice against the Varsity Offense. So Logan scored 27 points in the first quarter and then we just couldn't come back but ended up losing 35-27. I got a tackle and I was the only D.B. that didn't get scored on so i take that as an accomplishment. Freshman were about the same they got outscored in the first half and ended up losing 35-27 Brett got a pick at the end of the game which was pretty cool. And Last And most certainly least it Varsity I have posted in the like 6 Posts how they do so i will just give you the score 35-0. And i bet you can guess which score belongs to who.

Next week we have Bear River Which they are 1-5 and we are 1-5 so who knows they beat Ben Lomond Last week by 2 luckly. Ben Lomond Missed a 18 yard field goal for the win. Logan is the best team in are region so hopefully we will do good from here on out. But There has to be a worst team in our region and it seems like it is going to be a 5 way tie between all our region except Logan ha ha. We finally got to light up the Y on saturday after there win against Air Force. But there is a bit of a problem 1/3 of my lights are broken, only every third light will flash and stuff but we can't figure it out. And I am proud to say that UNLV Shut out Utah on saturday, it was utahs first loss to UNLV since they became part of the MWC.

Homecoming: Back in Black

This week was homecoming, though really early it was still pretty fun(except for the game and we will get to that). It all started Monday with powder puff practice. Brett was the coach of the freshman girls and they were practicing at the same time as the sophmore girls. And even though i wasn't a coach I had to do something while waiting for brett to get done. So the sophmores practice finishes and the freshman are still going, so I go over and "scout out" the freshman. But I ended up just hanging out with some of the freshman coaches that just gave up all hope on the girls, and little by little a girl or two would even come over and hangout with us because they gave up all hope( and whats sad is that they were the best girls on the team but couldn't stand the girls that didn't even know what football was. The practice started at 6:00 and didn't end until 8:30, the sophmores on the other hand ended at about 6:30. And after all that they still didn't know how to play football. And it showed on Tuesday night with the sophmores beating the freshman 21- 0. Wednesday there was an activity but it was at the same time as our practice so I didn't go to that. Thursday we didn't have a J.V. game because Union didn't have a J.V. team. So the freshman played the Union Freshman/Sophmores. At half time it was 7-19 with Union winning. But Granstville played an awsome second half to come back and win 29-27, that was thursday. Friday didn't go so well. After school the "varsity" football team had to go be on a float for the parade that was boring. Now to the part Troy has been waiting for the game(I put all the other stuff in because the girls might get sick of football week after weekd) . We kick off and give them ok field position and on like the second play they threw a 60 yard touchdown pass to a 6'9" reciever. Then we go down and score too, we make the two point conversion and are up 8-7. Then Union goes down and scores again to make it 8-13. Right before the first half ended we were on the one yard line but didn't punch it in and it all went downhill from then. After halftime with it being a pretty close game they pass and they pass and they pass, usually just lobs and the recievers catch over us. We did break a kids neck though. So in the end the score was 8-42 with us losing to make our preseason record 1-4. So hopefully we will do good in region because all of the teams in our region have losing records but one, Logan, and that is who we play this week. So hopfully now that our record counts we might do something about it. sorry about the picture none of those guys are me brett took the picture and must not of been paying attention but you guys get the main idea

Twister!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last tuesday we had quite a storm. We were in grantsville having football practice and it was a little cloudy, but nothing big. Then it started getting a little breezy, but still nothing big. So we are driving home and it starts sprinkling, ok nothing big. We turn into stansbury down by the stake center and still nothing. We finally turn down the elementary road and it is pretty windy so we are almost to the street of our house when we see this twister looking thing on another street. So we go after it and we got right in the middle of it, there was shingles flying all around us and garbage( It was garbage day so that didn't help) so we turn down by the soccer fields and it is really windy and we can see what looks like a pretty big twister but it wasn't coming from the sky but from the ground so that was cool. There was a ton of garbage everywhere and people were running to there cars. We then turned down aberdeen and there is a lot of garbage on the road and a garbage can started blowing towards our car so we swerved out of the way. We saw a trampoline almost come over a fence and right at us. then we turn onto fairway and there is another trampoline in a tree about to blow out. It was pretty cool actually. The news was out here and our house was on the news. There were a lot of trees uprooted our tree by the firehydrant blew down and all our fruit blew off the trees.

So we played carbon in football this week and the j.v. game was just a blast. I went in for a few plays on defense in the first half. And at halftime the score was 32-8 so they put in all the second string offense and stuff so in the second half i got some reps on offense as well, and that was really cool because i got to see how much i had improved from last year. In the end we won 52-22. It should of been 52-8 but when our 5'0" 90 pound corner went in they passed to his side and scored twice. But who cares we won by a ton anyway. The varsity(which luckly i got out of because we had to go to carbon, its no fun to travel 3 hours to stand on the sideline) got a W also but not in the fashion we did they won 10-7. But for beating carbon by that little doesn't say much for the rest of our season, but hey we got Ogden and Ben Lomond to look forward to. But atleast the J.V. will do really well

St. George

This weekend we went to St. George with jer and kenz. It was a blast. And also i stayed or visited the two biggest houses I have ever been in. We pulled in friday night at about 9 a clock with all of channings clothes full of barf. We get inside and there front room is huge (There meaning kenzes uncle). Then we go down stairs were we were staying and it looked just as big with all the same nice stuff. I go around the corner and see a huge weight room bigger than our schools then i go down the hall and there is a half court b-ball court in there house.

Then we went outside and there was a really nice pool and we swam in that utill 11. We woke up the next morning and played some b-ball then had some quesadillas for breakfast. then went swimming again. Kenzes uncle was the pineview coach so we talked some football while we were there also. then we went to skylers and kylas house for the rest of the weekend

This is there basketball court it is really nice. Oh and they had this fridge with refrigerated drawers full of gatorade and propel in them just for us it was the coolest house ever. He wants me to move down there and live with him. I don't have a problem with that at all. the other big house we went to had a bowling alley in the basement and that was really cool also
