Game 1 2012

The first game was held on the high school field.  It feels so much bigger there and we're a lot farther away from the action.  They played a Lone Peak team that came out looking pretty strong.  They scored early in the first quarter leaving us down 0-6.

 But after that the boys seemed to have a fire lit inside them and really started playing well.  We recovered two of our own punts in a row which each ended in touchdowns bringing us ahead 12-6.  Then we drove it down for another touchdown which had us up 18-6. 

We are clearly struggling with scoring extra points.  But that is pretty common at this age.  Then the most exciting thing was Jack intercepted the ball in the third quarter and ran it all the way down for a touchdown.  He was so excited, I have no pics because I was so excited.  They ended up winning the game 25-6.  It was good to start the season with a win. 

Jamboree

Jack is number 12 this year.  His coach had him change to reflect his position at quarterback.  The Jamboree is always at such a hot time of year and played in the afternoon, it was sweltering.  Jack's team had a good scrimmage and got excited for their first game.

 

The synthetic field is several degrees hotter than the surrounding pavement, I don't know how they don't get burned.  It was a good preview to the season.

Recap of last season

I realize I never finished up last season, and I should have, it was pretty exciting!  We played in the playoffs in the snow.

We made it to the championship game.  It was mid-November and freezing.  We lost in that game and took second overall in the league.

Game 7

This was the last game in the regular season.  We won 32-0.  We played another Westlake team, they seem to be struggling this year. 

So overall record this season is 6-1.  We are tied with another team, so we won't know our playoff schedule for a few more days, and a coin flip will determine our seed.  If we make it to the championship game we get to play at a high school field, which would be fun.

Game 6

Stats:
6 tackles
0-1 passing
It was a rough game.  We were up at half time 7-6, and both teams played hard.  But in the end, Lone Peak won 19-13.  They boys were pretty sad.  They are still tied for first in the league with a record of 5-1.  There is one more regular season game then the playoffs.  The championship game will be on a big field, so there is much hope to make it to that one.  Not too many pics as dad was running the camera.

Game 5

Game 5 was against another Lehi team.  The weather started out really nice, then got a little warm toward the end. 

Jack is nervous before each game, we tell him nerves can be a good thing.  The above pic has way too much grass in it, but I love when you can see where the ball is. 

It totally looks like the kid closest to the camera is waiting for the ball, but it's already gone.  The offense they run makes it really hard to tell where to ball is.

It was pretty sunny and there was a huge glare, so I never know what kind of pictures I am going to get.  I sit with the girls for most of the game, so everything is far away as well.  I love getting the ball mid-air.

Jack had his first pass for a touchdown.  He was excited and did a cheer on the field, he's usually pretty sedate, so I knew he was excited. 
Stats:
1 touchdown pass
4 tackles

He also scrambled all over the field with the ball at one point and broke three tackles before he got taken down.

Final score 34-0.  Currently undefeated!

Game 4

This week we played Pleasant Grove.  It was a tough game and we had to work for every yard.  The final score was 14-0.  Making us 4-0 overall. 

Jack had six tackles this game.
