{ End of a BUMMER football season }


Hayden had a very successful season. Despite his injury. He played in four games. First was against Juan Diego, Lone Peak, Lehi and Lone Peak again. He started out the season a little timid. He was the one getting hit. Oh I forgot he was an X man and played defensive and offensive tackle. He had bruises on his arms like you wouldn't believe. We had to keep telling him to not be afraid and hit the guy first. He was finally getting the hang of it and his season was cut short. He has a great time with his friends that were on his team. Ethan Issacson and Jared Heer. Friends that have been around for four years and we (meaning the parents) try to put them in sports together as much as possible. Not only because they can have fun playing on the same team but we can also carpool. Which was a very handy thing this year for me at least. He had a great coach James Stock. They never scored a touchdown. But at this age
I would rather the boys get the hang of playing the game and learning the fundamentals then always worrying about whether or
not they scored a touchdown. This
team learned alot and grew together as a team. I would have to say that I am very proud of Hayden and the way he conducted himself on the field. He played the game smart and fair at all times. He never hung his head down, he always held it high. I hope that he wasn't discouraged by only playing in a few games this year but I hope that he continues on in football. I think that he will be a great player. He has the determination to be GREAT!
