Football Week #6: Homecoming vs. Granger

I couldn't resist posting this! It was THE game that we needed to win. Not only was it Homecoming, but it was against our biggest rival and it pretty much seals up our place as the Region Champs. It was a packed house!! My parents, Heidi, Jonny, and the girls even came!

Well we started the game and it was a slow start. Our defense was doing amazing, but offensively we just couldn't get anything going. We went into half time tied 0-0. The cheerleaders performed at half time and they did such an amazing job!! I was happy and Kenzie and Sadie came down on the field and had so much fun!

The second half started and we came out guns firing!! We went up 7-0 and didn't lose the lead from then on. Thanks to our running back Trevon Johnson who had 4 touchdowns we won 34-14.

The stats: Granger only had 16 yards of total offense. They're touchdowns came off of a run back off of kick-off after one of our touchdowns and the defense picked up a fumble. They had only 1 first down and they only were across the 50 once because they started on the Hunter side.

So happy for the win!! All we need to do is win next week and the title is ours! :)

Next week: Hunter vs. Kearns

Football Week #5: Start of Region play

The week off proved to be a huge advantage for our boys! We got everybody rested up and healed for the first region game. Friday night's game was at West High. It was their Homecoming Game, 122 years that school has been open. Their field is really cool because it is a true football stadium, no track around it. The cheerleaders weren't too happy about where they had to stand, but at least they were able to actually see the game. :) Anyways, the game, it was all Hunter from the beginning. We came out pumped and ready for the game. We scored within the first 3 minutes and took off from there. I was proud of those boys for the cool that they kept up the whole game. West weren't the cleanest players: way late hits, punching, kicking, and targeting players which result in two injuries. Hyrum, our running back, may be out for the season with an ACL injury. We aren't sure it could be an MCL tear, which means with a brace he could still play. Fingers crossed!!

Hunter ended up winning 41-3!!

This week is Homecoming vs. GRANGER!! Super excited!!!

Game #4 & the rest of the weekend

I've been thinking of the best way to talk about the weekend and I realized I really stink at writing! I can't say thing creatively most of my post are very boring to read, let's see if I can do a better job this week at making it more exciting.

Fridays I have the day off of work, I did something different this Friday than every other Friday. I drove up to Syracuse to babysit my two cute little nieces while my sister had to go to work. They are the cutest little girls! Ah I love them!! We played, watched TV, went to the park, and took naps. Easiest kids to watch. From Syracuse I left for home so I could drop the clothes off (I did laundry all day too) and head to the FIRST home game (yes it was the first home game after three weeks on the road).

We were playing an opponent that I know all too well, The Davis Darts. The game was pretty good the first half. It was only 14-0 Davis going into the half. Our defense was looking really good, our offense was struggling a little bit though. The second half was not pretty. Our offense struggled, Davis had two interceptions that resulted in a pick 6 and the other in a field goal. The final ended up being 23-0.

Saturday, we went to the Utah State Fair. This was my first time at the Fair and I had so much fun!! Preston's Mission President and his family show goats. We made it there just in time to watch them win some awards. Then went looking around some more. I had a BLAST!!

Sunday, we had Regional Conference. I really enjoyed it and it was probably one of the fastest 2 hours I have sat through. Elder L. Tom Perry was the final speaker and he gave an amazing talk!! I learned that he is 90 year old, but he really doesn't look that old at all! We then went up north to my parents and had a blast up there. Overall a very good weekend.

Football: BYE this week, September 21:  Hunter@ West (First Region Game)

Football Week #3 & Labor Day

Friday Night was the third game of the season and Hunter came out on top again in a nail biter against West Jordan. Winning 23-21, with our defense getting an interception to seal the winning. I was very grateful!! Even though it was a super long game (didn't get over until after 10!) it was a hard fought game. This week is going to be our biggest challenge yet.

Week #4:

Davis Darts vs. Hunter Wolverines

First home game finally! We've been road game champs!!

The long weekend was much needed and didn't disappoint in being fun! We spent most of the day Saturday helping Preston's dad move some things for Grandma & Grandpa Wood to move into an assisted living place up here. We got to enjoy some awesome food for dinner & football with his family. Sunday Preston wasn't feeling well so he missed most of church, our primary class only had two kids so we played and then had singing & sharing time which always has some funny things happen with our sunbeams. :) That night I had a suprise baby shower for one of our friends that is currently living in Texas. It was so much fun and I was so happy I got to spend some time with friends. Monday I got to sleep in while Preston went to football practice. When he got home we went for a 4 mile run on the Jordan River Parkway. To reward ourselves (mostly me because I've started to slack on running. . .) we got lunch at Cafe Rio. We ended the day with a swim/BBQ at Grandpa Huber's house. Even though the water was freezing we had lots of fun. Towards the end of swimming Preston, Parker, and Willie were having a cannon ball/biggest splash contest. I believe that Willie was the winner.

It was so nice to finally get to spend sometime with Preston this weekend. With football and school we don't get as much time together as we would like to.

Happy Wednesday!!!
