Playoff's: It Was A Good Run!

Today Hunter's B-Town team played their first Playoff game in Herriman. Herriman is located at World's End, for those of you that ever wanted to visit there. We played Riverton and it was an upside down game for an upside down place. I will give you the riddle of the game and see if you can figure it out: Ending Score 12 Riverton, 7 Bountiful. Riverton's Offense NEVER scored a touchdown or a 1st down...So, let's talk about the positive things shall we...The team started the day with a huge tail gate party at the coach's house, there was more food there than the team could eat-which is no small feat! Then the boys painted their hair and faces to "prepare for the game" the BHS fans also got face paint, Baka loved it!

Now onto the game, 1st thing that happened was Hayden being dubbed the team mascot and lovingly named "Peanut Butter" by the boys.

Hunter recovered a fumble, sacked the QB times, and made a lot of key tackles that shut down the Riverton Offense.

No matter how many people had Brave War Paint on their faces and red hair, the Brave Fans could not change the outcome of the game. Even "Peanut Butter" was beside himself with grief over the terrible loss. The boys played hard and lost hard, but we are proud of them and their amazing season. Hunter played his hardest and has the bruises and cuts to prove it!

After a nice lunch with Maka and Baka we flipped the truck upside down, which was right side up, and returned back to the land of Bountiful.

At bed time, while I was tucking Hunter into his bed, he said, "Mom, remember last year when I cried all the time when I had to go to football? I didn't cry once this year. That is cool." Yes, it is cool! I want to thank the coaches (Metcalfe & Co) for their patience and positive coaching with Hunter this year. You taught Hunter that everyone on the team is valuable and making mistakes is OK. You brought out a side of Hunter that we had not seen before and we (especially his Dad) are very grateful for that!
