Alta Black vs Bingham

Well this weeks game was the "biggie" and we knew it going into it. Carter's team went up against Bingham, our biggest rival!! They were both tied for 1st place in their division and winning this game meant winning 1st place and securing a place in the championship! So needless to say Carter was very exited to be chosen as one of the captains for the game. This picture is of him and the other captains doing the coin toss. And yes Carter is only wearing one glove- he gives the other to his friend Ammon Fassu to use. He doesn't like having a glove on his hand he snaps with. And it was super cold too!!
Here they are face to face with Bingham!! Carter is in the center in this shot- just waiting to pounce! It was an all out war and our guys took some serious hits and we were struggling in that first half. We went into the half down 6-0, but thankfully the coaches let them have it during the half and they came out fighting again in the second half!
Here's the team doing their usual 4th quarter chant, but this time it meant even more because it was tight!! They both fought hard and we ended up with 1 minute left in the quarter tied 14 to 14 and we had to bring it!! We didn't get it into the end zone before the game was over so it went into overtime..........sudden death!! After another coin toss we got the ball first and got it into the end zone for our touchdown and extra point, so it was a matter of holding them from getting in..............
Well they DID IT!!!!!!!!! This is the congratulatory gathering after the game. That is Chan shaking the hand of another coach, Hank Hathaway, and it was an emotional win!! I was crying my eyes out!! I was so proud of those guys and of carter who was put into defense that very last play where they held Bingham at the one yard line for the win!! WOW!!!!
ALL the coaches were very proud of the boys, but they all said they were sure we would see that team again, so it's back to practice with two regular season games left! Let's go Alta Black!!!!! But way to go on your win- it was AWESOME!!!
