Football


This has been Mason's first year of playing football.
The practices started off 
 the end of July in the scorching heat.
You can only imagine how
hot and sweaty he was
with all the pads and helmet on.
He would seriously be dripping wet!
  They practiced 5 nights a week
 the first 4 weeks for 2 hours each practice.
  Things 'slowed' down to 3 practices
 a week after the games started.
  All the hard work payed off when they
 made it to the playoffs and played against
 the biggest rival, Bingham.
  Bingham had beaten us earlier
 in the year and now
 it was our turn to beat them 6-0!
  Mason played an awesome game we were told
 (we left him home in the care of
 numerous people
 while we went to Mesquite for the weekend).
I'v never been a real big fan
of football
but I've enjoyed watching him and trying
to learn the game.
I still don't get it though.
  Mason has the perfect personality for the game.
He's got a more aggressive personality 
than the others. 
He doesn't think twice before he knocks someone
on their can!!
He's also been knocked on his can
a time or two, but thats how the game
is played!
  Now we will play Grantsville
 this Saturday for the championship!!


  Go Alta!!!
