I am happy to say that we passed her test.
Although there was a fresh blanket of snow on the ground, once the sun came out it really wasn't too cold.
We came prepared though. I think these boys had 4 or 5 layers on, blankets, hot cocoa, and a space heater. They were pretty darn comfy. I threatened them before the game however that if one complaint left their lips it would not be recognized because everyone was going to be suffering.
I need to threaten that more often. I did not hear one peep from any of them.
When did Nick's legs get so long and lanky?
Bringing down a couple guys. Here...
... and here.
I don't want to wish snow at every game but it did keep the boys entertained the entire time building little snowmen and forts. And warm. The layers started peeling off as the game went on.
Another tackle...
If you squint really, really hard you can see that Nick trying to catch a pass (right in front of #41) and a Bingham guy is jumping in front of him. This would have scored a TD in regular play but a pass interference was called putting the game into overtime.
Herriman scored a TD on the third down in OT and although Nick missed this catch for the extra point, I think it is a pretty cool picture.
Bingham tried to score on their 4 downs but I am proud to say that Nick stuffed his guy causing a fumble and one of our players landed on the ball. Herriman won 6-0.
What a sweet redemption. Bingham was one of the two teams we lost to this season. The other team we lost to, Alta, lost to Stansbury so we will be playing Stansbury for the CHAMPIONSHIP!
Andrew was able to have every boys' dream come true and play in a big mud puddle for his football game. He also played Bingham--the very team they lost to the week before.
Andrew was an animal looking for the kill. He played so hard and had some awesome highlights.
Like this sequence of pictures. He is on the far right...
...coming closer...
...got him...
...and brought him down.
Another great play...
This picture makes me so happy! They won the game in overtime 12-6 (I know, two overtime games in one day. I was exhausted!) and they were jumping all over the place.
On to the CHAMPIONSHIP against Alta!
The fact that they won makes it a little easier for me to TACKLE the challenge of getting this dirt out of his uniform.
That pun was totally intended. You're welcome.

Those WERE exhausting games but worth every minute watching them. They played tough - both boys!! Well done!
I just noticed....if you scroll down medium fast, it's like the boys are really moving and doing the tackles etc.
