Scrimage or Bust

The Bountiful Peewee's have had a busy scrimmage schedule this week. They opened up the season with a scrimmage against Granger. It was a daunting task for these small town Bountiful boys, on first glance it looked like the smallest players on the Granger team were weighing in at 100lbs. And by the actions of their coaches, Granger thought they were on their way to the NFL. But there was one B-town boy that was not going to let Granger throw him around. #83, Hunter Munk B-town's Defensive End, was fired up and ready to take Granger down. There were many attempts to take 83 and throw him to the curb, but Munk was having none of that! After watching Munk "juke" his way out of this tackle I had the urge to yell out "How you like them apples?"
Granger knew our boys were nervous to tackle them and they used it to their advantage. That is until Munk let the rage in him take over and he threw this Granger Running Back down and attempted to rip the ball from his hands. There seemed to be a moment of shocked silence then screams of approval from the sidelines and a lot of helmet smacking from the B-town coaches!
Next we move on to Woods Cross. Woods Cross seemed to be a hard team to play for Bountiful. There were complaints of the radiating fire heat from the artificial turf burning through the cleats but the coaches would hear none of it and sent the boys out with words of affirmation. WX has an interesting twist for young Munk, his 2nd cousin, Caleb Clayton, was playing for them as well as his best friend Jonah Hartvigsen. Jonah and Hunter met up on the sideline and took a moment to pose for the camera. After the first game we were able to get a shot of them with their helmets off.

The two teams seemed to be a good match and the competition was fierce. In the second scrimmage against WX, Munk almost met his yearly goal when he rushed WX's quarter back and almost sacked him. It was a near miss and a great attempt! Munk's father said, "He took the wrong angle, if he would have gone straight he would have had him."
The B-town boys put a lot of heart into this game the grass seemed to cool them off and they played much better. Munk had some NFL quality blocks when the coach put him on offense. And his parents were pleased to see him play both sides of the ball. Munk seems to have blossomed this year as a defensive player and his coaches are very pleased with his game. Coach Metcalfe told reporters after the scrimmage. "Hunter is a stud, he was on fire in that second game." Munk and the Bountiful Peewees have their first season game next Saturday, times to be announced. We look forward to many great things from this team and from #83, Munk!
