Alta Black vs Brighton

Well Carter did his best to pump himself up for this game- it was a big one! He listened to his i-pod the whole way up to Park City where our game was held. He had his game face on and was rearing to go, but once we got out of the truck and discovered he had forgotten his pads and helmet we thought we were in serious trouble!! Thankfully Gamma and Papa were coming, so they saved his can and brought them up- THANKS GAMMA AND PAPA!!! This is Carter with his game face!!



Here's the team heading off the field after the half- they were playing pretty well, but needed to step it up a bit more. At this point the other team had not scored on us, but we were looking a bit battered- so off to get yelled at a bit and back to the field!!









The weather defiantly played a part in this game- it was a wet one!! The rain came in bursts and when it was raining in was really coming down! This is the offense in a huddle- you go get 'em guys!!










It was an awesome game- we had them beat right to the 4th quarter. It looked to be a shut out, but with only a few minutes left in the 4th quarter a coach from the opposing team came up to speak with our defensive coach during a time out. The discussion was to allow for a touchdown by a member of their team who has special needs. Of course our team agreed and while we all watched this boy on their team ran for a touchdown with at least 5 of our guys following him. It was amazing- just writing it down now brings back all the emotion of it! There were not many dry eyes from those watching it! And of course our boys also allowed for an extra point- to give their team the only 7 points earned on that game. It was awesome! And if that weren't enough- the Coach talked with the boys after the game about empathy and the importance of always remembering others. He was choking up while talking to them and all us Mom's were teary eyed. It was a really special moment- one to never forget!

This is a shot of the final huddle before we all left. The boy who ran in that touchdown came over to say thank you and all our boys ran over to him and gave him praise for his amazing play. He is a darling boy! And because he was there the coaches and team included him in their last huddle. WOW- what an awesome team! Way to go Alta Black!! A nice win with an even better memory to share!
