Alta High Playoffs

I am so proud of Carter and how this years football season has gone for him. He had a fantastic time playing for the Sophomore team and was a great leader to the offensive line. It was an even greater thing to be asked to play up with the Varsity team for the playoffs and he was THRILLED!
The first playoff game was this past Friday afternoon and we were so excited to go and watch. We knew more than likely that we would be watching him stand on the sidelines, but to be honest I was just as proud watching him stand THERE than if had he been playing!
It was a rough game! They played Syracuse High School from up north and they were tough!
The first half was hard and at the half Syracuse was ahead. When our guys came back out after the half they were fired up and you could see it. But unfortunately it didn't get them any more points and they lost :(
It was a good experience for Carter to see all the seniors that he looks up to crying and talking to them about next year. The juniors and sophomores who were there that day pledged to never let it happen again. They bonded in a unique way that day and it strengthened Carter even more to do better and even though I'm sad they lost I'm grateful that Carter was able to be a part of it.

So his season is over and what does he want to do now? Work out of course!!! Let the off season begin!
