I'm back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads;
Standin in the huddle listenin' to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall.
They didn't let just anybody in that club
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood;
To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall
King of the school man, we're the boys of fall..
Well, it's turnin' to face the stars and stripes
It's fighting back them butterflies
It's call it in the air alright, yes sir we want the ball;
It's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass,
It's I got your number, I got your back
When your backs against the wall;
You mess with one man, you got us all
The boys of fall.
--Kenny Chesney, "The Boys of Fall"
On Saturday the Mustangs played a hard quarterfinal game but fell to the Alta Hawks 13-7. It is crazy to think that the activity that took up a huge chunk of our free time is over but I have to say that sleeping in on Saturday morning sounds quite nice.
I am so proud of Nick and how hard he played and how hard he worked. It was really fun to watch him and his team have fun together and come together as a team over the last 3 months.
Until next year.

It was so much fun to go watch the games. I'm glad that we saw as many as we did. The last one was a heartbreaker but now you can relax a little until baseball starts. That is a great group of boys and how they have improved since they have been together. Nicholas did such a good job - (I'm not prejudiced am I?)
Awesome post! I thought you wrote the poem as I read and I was sick at how I didn't know you wrote prose, but I love how you did that with the pics. Can't wait to see a game one day!!
Outstanding! "Boys of Fall" the new Football Anthem.
