Tough loss in the play offs to Riverton 13-7

A trick play from Riverton surprised us in the end to win it. I feel really bad that during the time out I didn't warn our line backers and Db"s to stay home and watch for something tricky. As a coach I should have seen it coming. I've had a pretty good read on most of the teams we've played but Saturday I got out coached and that hurts.

The Boys were on fire this week. They came out this week with heart and toughness and played like champs. I know that each one cared and didn't want it to end this way. I was taken back when some kids came up to me and apologized for the loss. They said things "like it was my fault".." I didn't block my guy"... "I should have made the tackle"... The thing is, it's not their fault. Its not any individuals fault. When we won it was a team win and so it is when we lose, a team loss. I will remember this season not for the scores of the games but for the relationships and friendships made and the challenges we overcame together. I'm so proud of their development they are fine young men.

It's not over yet though. We still have the Border Warz Tournament. So Good luck boys.

Alta goes to playoffs win 28-0 win over Tooele

Alta makes the playoffs with a win over Tooele buffaloes 28-0. Early touch down throws to Zack and Corey put the buffaloes on their heels. Zander , Alex and Alec got to field punts and Trudo got to run the ball. Nate got tested on defense. It was an easy match up with Tooele invoking the mercy rule in the third quarter(Clock runs without stopping). I must say what good sportsmen Tooele's coaches were they were nothing but gracious and complimentary after the game. Its too bad we as coaches cant be like that all the time. I speak collectively, because i think we have awesome coaches on this team.
