Bonneville

This week we play Bonneville. JV 3:30 and Soph 5:30 are on Thursday here and Varsity plays Friday at Bonneville.

The Freshmen play Wednesday at Pleasant Grove at 6:30 pm.

Coach G: Great team effort. The synergy was evident through special teams to offense to the defense, who played an outstanding overall game. None of the Friday night success is possible without the Mon-Thursday effort of the "warriors", those who practice as hard as they can and may not see action on Friday. Keep up the great work.

Mountain Crest

This week the varsity travels to Mt Crest on Friday at 7pm. The JV and Sophs play at home on Thursday at 3:30 and 5:30 respectively. The Freshmen play on Wed at 4pm at home.

Note to parents: Thank you very much to those who have been helping with the concessions stand on game nights. It has been a success. Again a special thanks to Rob and Tricia for going above and beyond to set up and do all that you do.
Coach G: Big games hinge on 3-5 plays and we didn't get any of them. The defense played well but without the offense playing well it makes it very difficult to win the games against teams who are equal or better than we are. There is a process to being great and we must keep focused on the process. It includes great practice, great students, great preparation, then "play with your hair on fire" on Friday night.

Sky View and Region Begins

All teams play Sky View this week as Region 5 competition begins. On Wednesday the Freshmen will play at 5:30 at Sky View. On Thursday the JV will play at 3:30pm and the Sophs will play right after (around 5:30pm) both games at Sky View. On Friday the Varsity will play here at 7pm for our Homecoming game.

Our theme this week is Hold the Rope.

Coach G: It was a great homecoming game. We held the rope! It is still important to remember process over product. The win was great but how we went about it is what is important. Players were focused on winning one play at a time. Teamwork, our 11 against their 11 on every play.

Spanish Fork

This week we play Spanish Fork with JV and Varsity. The Freshmen play Stansbury here on Wed. Spanish Fork doesn't have enough to field 2 teams so they only play one game on Thursday. It is at Spanish Fork. Bus will leave a little before 1 on Thursday and return around 8pm. Players will need to bring some money to eat after the game. The game starts at 3:30pm. The Varsity game is a home game at 7pm on Friday.

Coach G: We got off to a great start with a KO return for a TD. There was great energy from start to finish. Our theme was a Band of Brothers from Henry V. We made plenty of mistakes but players competed well for each other to cover up mistakes and redeem mistakes. It was a fine team effort. The Hogs did a nice job of winning the line of scrimmage. Keep working hard because now the games count towards making the playoffs. Keep working to become a "Band of Brothers!
