Football Weekend

It was another big football weekend in the Larsen family. Tyler played Alta (the rival school of Jordan), Zach played Riverton who they had to have won to be in the playoffs, and Collin played Riverton to decide who was in 2nd place and who was in 3rd.
This is cute Grandma Larsen at Ty's game. She painted her face! What an awesome grandma!






We will start with Ty's game. It was senior night, so all of the seniors on the team were honored. I didn't get video of that because I was taking video with my parent's camera, but we are very proud of Tyler. He has been offered a full ride scholarship to SUU which is so awesome! Anyways, so Jordan vs. Alta. The game was really exciting. Alta took the lead pretty quick at the beginning, but then Jordan came to life and they were neck and neck all the way to the end. With about four minutes left, Jordan scored, and then got the ball AGAIN and scored. So now, we are up by one point. With only about five seconds left, stupid Alta kicked a field goal, made it, and won the game. Very very very very depressing. Jordan is still in the playoffs, it just would have been nice to beat Alta because they are so stuck up (Yes I went to Alta, but I do not claim them as my school : ). Ty did really good though, so that is all that mattered.

I got this picture from the Deseret News. They took this right after Alta made the field goal. That's Ty in the middle. I wish the pic would have been them celebrating : (


Zachy's team are the two time champions for his age group. They had a tough year this year though. They had to win Riverton to be in the playoffs. It was a very close game, but Riverton pulled it out in the end and won. Zachy always plays awesome. He's not the biggest kid on the field, but he plays the hardest!


Collin's team had a rough year last year, but they have been ROCKING it this year! They were fighting Riverton for second place, and won! The game went into overtime. Jordan scored first, but missed the extra point in OT. Riverton tried to score, but Jordan didn't give them a chance! Collin is a great player and adds a LOT to his team. The video below is the last play of the game when Jordan held them, and they celebrated their win.

Sucks about Zach and Tyler's games. I wish that they would have won. I am proud of them though. I am happy for Collin and his team. He is one cool little kid.

Well when they are in the NFL I am sure they will feel better about their loss. I think they rock!!!

Great week for football! Even for those who didn't win the game - there are no losers in football. It's the fun of the outdoors, the hard work, the action, the hotdogs, and good company. I love football season!! Way to go, Larsens.

Next year will be awesome when both Cody and Tyler play for Southern Utah University. We'll be racking up some serious mileage to see them play.
