Football and fall

Today was Jeremy's last football game for 7th grade. He played defense only, which was a change from the last games. We lost the B bracket championship to north sevier 16-8. Oh we'll, their overall record this season was 4 wins and 6 losses, better than last year. We saw lots of improvement from the team but also the same mistakes all year long. One of them being not putting the right kids the right positions. Jeremy did great on offense in last weeks' games but once our injured boys were back, Jeremy was relegated to something else.

Cameron has one game left and then playoffs. His team has only won once so far and that was last week. He is amazing thrower at quarterback. He loves it

Tyler's JV team is doing awesome. Their second loss came at the hands of manti. Thursday. It was a close game with each team scoring nearly every possession, but manti came out on top in the last minutes of the game. The varsity lost their first game in region to manti yesterday, by only one touchdown. Manti has an amazing rushing game. One of their players rushed for over 300 yards. He just gets behind his blockers and goes. We couldn't stop him.

 We just found out Tyler is #12 in sacks in 3A south. Interesting ... Hasn't played varsity much. More on that later.  (He hasn't played varsity enough to get stats of any kind, nor has he sacked anyone in any game,  hmmm.....)

Each game we go to has the most extreme weather. Today was beautiful. I think I got sunburned. During Tyler's game Thursday we froze and got soaked by rain.  Last Saturday was a sunny cold day. The night before that I could see my breath all night long. Cameron had a game cancelled because of cold and rain, but the JV were still playing in it. Tyler doesn't think he has had a game in sunshine all season. It's been overcast or dark or rainy or cold or snowy right before. Jeremy had a game postponed as well due to lightning.  What a great time, fall. with the weather changes occurring hourly.  I think the first snow was Oct 3 or so.  Didn't stick, but it was visible for quite a while.

We love fall and we love football. (Glad it's nearly over though). Basketball is here already.
