Last night the Spartans played Timpview- they were ahead by 20 pts at the half, but Timpview recovered and scored 15 before the end of the game. Tough second half for the boys, some of the 2nd and 3rd string players didn't get to play because it got so tough second half. We had a nail biting last 4 minutes of the game, the other side (including the referees) gave Timpview several unfair advantages (like not keeping the clock going when Timpview had the ball) and an extra point on the scoreboard they didn't actually legitimately win-anyway the Spartans won 20 to 15 (not 16 they did eventually fix the error) It was a fun game, still not many parents attended on the opposing side (sad) but they appear to have a really good program. Running through the cheerleaders at half time (they usually have a banner for them to run through)Even Gabe Olsen #29, the player who got hurt two weeks ago was on the sidelines (standing the whole time!) with his teammates. Sorry the pictures are soo dark.

All the players are congragulating Spencer on his awesome interception, but Connor has to take a peek to see what the girls are doing (ahem, Jessica) She is the one on the right, he's #60 I actually didn't realize what this picture was until I looked closer, I think its funny I caught him looking back at the cheerleaders.

San Diego

Craig got the opportunity to go to San Diego for 4 days with his sister and her family. This is one of the sunset pictures he sent to my phone. I have it on my phone wallpaper, maybe someday I'll see a sunset over the ocean in person again.

Sorry everyone who is following the football game scores, it has been a busy week. The Spartans played Payson last Saturday and they won again 37 to 0. Since it was in Payson, the Birchetts joined us for the game. The boys played hard and did a great job. I have to put in a plug for the cheerleaders and cheerleader parents. They are there to support the boys, just as much as we are and have made this season lots of fun- every game our section is triple or quadruple the spectators that the other teams have and I know that that makes the boys play their best and try really hard to be good sports. Often the other teams don't have cheerleaders and there may be only a handful of parents that show up. I think we have a really good start to an awesome program in years to come, if current trends are any indication. Here's hoping!
