Alta High Soph Team Game #4- Homecoming week!

Finally a HOME game for the sophomore team! Yay! We were so excited to go and see them play on their home turf! And to make it even more fun it was also Homecoming week! Carter shared with me that they wanted to do something new for their pre-game so before they even came out for warm ups they did the Nebraska prayer on a knee in the locker room. Here's what it says:

Dear Lord, the battles we go through life,
We ask for a chance that's fair
A chance to equal our stride,
A chance to do or dare

If we should win, let it be by the code,
Faith and Honor held high

If we should lose, we'll stand by the road,
And cheer as the winners go by

Day by Day, we get better and better!
Til' we can't be beat...
WON'T BE BEAT!

Carter said it was an awesome thing to be a part of and it got them amped to get out there and win! Once they were done with their warm ups they did their own version of the Michigan circle and one of their captains led them in a chant. It was awesome and the first time they had ever done that.

This game was unlike others in that they came out strong and we got on top of the game quickly!


It was pretty evident from the start that we were a stronger team than Jordan. We were pushing them all over the field and scoring one after another!
It wasn't until late in the 4th quarter that Jordan finally got a touchdown and we're all pretty sure it was because the refs were starting to feel bad for them. Jordan got several pass interference calls that were just ridiculous! But in the end it didn't matter much anyway.
This picture of the head coach echoed my feelings exactly! It was a landslide win which is what we have ALL been wanting so badly! The final was Alta 36 to Jordan's 7!!! YES!!!!
I am so proud of Carter! He played well and is just LOVING this season! Go Hawks!
