Vikings vs Knights

Well this week Viewmont had Northridge and there was a lot of anticipation because we had heard that Northridge was probably the best team we would play. They were unbeaten and had beat the same team Viewmont had beaten but by bigger margins. Northridge scored first and it was not looking to good but the Vikings came right back and scored twice to take a 14-7 lead into the 3rd quarter. Then the Knights scored but missed there extra point so it was 14-13. Viewmont turned the ball over and it led to another Northridge T.D. they made a two point conversion and went up 21-13 with about 7 minutes left. Viewmont got the ball back but ended up punting when they could not get a first down. The Vikings defense played great and forced the Knights to punt. With a little under 4 minutes the Vikings got the ball and drove down the field and scored with a little over 2 minutes left. On a previous play the Viking kicker had gotten hurt so Viewmont went for the 2 point conversion and the win. They got the 2 point conversion and went up 22-21 and then the defense had to not let the Knights move into field goal position. They started on the twenty and the Vikings defense shut them down. Micah had a big hit on one of there receiver causing him to fumble the ball unfortunately the ball went out of bounds. But on the next play Viewmont picked off the ball. The Vikings then just ran the clock down to 25 seconds before they had to punt. The Knight tried to hail Mary passes and they both got knocked down and the Vikings won 22-21.

Let The Games Begin

Well after practicing and working out all summer it is time once again to start the games. Micah had his first High School game on Thursday @ Weber. Micah has been working hard all summer. He started in June and even missed the annual trip to Lake Powell so he would not miss any of the football workouts. He started at cornerback on defense and wide receiver on offense. He had a great game and even caught a TD pass. Plus the only minor injury he had was a hole in his tongue because he did not put his mouthpiece in on a play and ended up getting hit and biting his tongue. The team looked really good the final score was 28-7 and they actually had one other TD called back. On the way home the bus broke down so they had to wait for a replacement bus, they did not get home until about 8:30.
Then Saturday it was game day for Payton. She is playing on a Comp. team with Davis Football Club. They have also been practicing all summer. Her game was in Mountain Green. In the first half she played forward and in the second half she was the goalie. She was awesome at goalie. Payton is fearless and throws herself on that ball when it gets close even if girls are still trying to kick it. She caught several hard shots. Her team the Yellow Jackets won 5-1.
