Taming the Grizzles


Well Saturday started early for us, we had a 9:00 am game @ Copper Hills (7800 S0. 5200 W) We met at McDonalds and left at 7:15. We had game film on Copper Hills so we felt prepared as possible. The field was pretty crappy it was high on one end of the field than the other so you were either running up hill or downhill slightly. During warm ups on of our players was running out for a pass and just fell, I could not figure out what he was doing then he stood up and said there was a hole. We went and looked and there was a hole a good 5-6 inches deep, he was lucky he didn't break his ankle. We put one of are orange cones in it and you could only see about 2 inches sticking out. They did come and fill it in about the 2nd quarter. Once the game started we played pretty good, Micah had some big runs and we were moving the ball really well until we fumbled it. :( But our defense was tough and we got the ball back and ended up scoring 20 points in the first half and we did not let them score. In the 2nd half we didn't score but we kept them from scoring until about 2 minutes left in the game. The nice thing about being up by 20 is that you can get everyone into the game and get them more minutes than they might get in a tight game And they deserve it after all they work hard all week in practice. After Saturday everyone in our league has at least one loss so there is like a 5 way tie for first place. It will be a tight race right till the end, last year we had a 4 way tie for 2nd place and had to have a playoff to get in.
