FOOTBALL




Football!! It is our life around here every fall. This year Logan started out on the UHS Sophomore team, but went to the JV team when the Sophomore team dwindled because of kids with bad grades.
Spencer played in the Vernal Youth Football League on the Raider's Team. Since Spencer is in 8th grade, this was our last season in Youth Football

Logan's season is still going on. Spencer's season ended Saturday. His team had a great season. They only lost one game all season until they got to the SUPERBOWL. What a game. Unfortunately, they lost to the Vikings 6 to 8. Those boys sure played hard.



Before the Superbowl the Raiders had a tailgate party, complete with the fire truck there. It was awesome. The did have a dummy of a viking hanging by his feet from the firetruck ladder, but someone from the league made them take it down. C'mon people...it was all in fun!
Even though they lost, Coach Hanks still got the Gatorade dumped on him. Hanks has been Spencer's coach for the past four years. There isn't a better coach out there. He doesn't just teach the kids football, he teaches them respect, sportsmanship, and to believe in themselves. I only wish he could go to the High School and coach there. He has done so much for Spencer. Thanks, John!!!





I am a little sad to see Spencer done with this team. He has met some good kids and become friends with alot of them. But next year will be exciting to see him play on the Freshman team.

Good job, Logan and Spencer.
