Week 3

We played the Westlake Thunder.  It was a blowout with the final score coming in a t 39-0. 

Quarterback is still going good.  It's fun to see Jack out there having a great experience.  He understands what is going on so well.  

Game 2

Week Two brought a grudge match between two Lehi teams.  There were a lot of kids on the other team that played on Jack's team last year.  I guess there was a lot of trash talk at some of the schools.  Jack's team is in the green pennys and the other team has on yellow helmet covers. 

We were up for the whole game. The boys did a good job of consistently making plays and getting down the field.  By the half we were up 24-0. 

They had 15 first downs.  Jack did get sacked once for a loss.  In the second half they score 14 more points for a final of 38-6.  Thus far the team record is 2-0. 

 

So far it's been good Jack being QB.  I am getting used to everyone yelling out his name-in a mostly positive way.  The field they played on this time was much better than last week.  It was in the middle of a track and there was shade on the edges.  Tessa could ride in the stroller while I followed the game and the other girls didn't melt in the sun like the previous week.  I like the milder weather.

New Season

The last week in July began the sixth grade football season.  A week of tryouts, then a few weeks of practice before the Jamboree where all Lehi teams play.  Jack is playing quarterback and linebacker this season.  Quarterback is a new position, and so far so good. 

There are a few kids we know on the team from last year and from school.  Game one was August 27th. It was a blistering hot day and none of the fields have any shade.  We are ready to purchase a giant canopy for the kids to sit under. 

The opponent was American Fork.  They were up 13-0 in the first quarter.  Then the tides began to turn.  The Pioneers scored and recovered an on side kick.  By half time the boys knew they were in the game.  Jack sacked the AF quarterback, always fun to see.  The final score was 20-13.

Stats-

Fantasy Football

I had a good draft.I got some of the players I wanted and some players that I wanted I didn't get. I drafted Steven Jackson, Peyton Manning, and Chad Ocho cinco and more. I am excited for football season and I hope that the Colts do well.
