8th Grade Football

Mason's 8th grade season of Bayfield Middle School ball will be over tomorrow. They've had a great season and have only lost one game out of 6. Tomorrow he plays in the championship game against Escalante, the one team that beat them this season.
Mason has had another great season, although he did not get to play much in the area that we felt could help the team the most. At Wednesday's play off game, he got to play fullback the whole game and scored all 3 touchdown's made, one of which was a defensive TD! He also kicks for the team and has had some really great kick offs. Here are pictures from Wednesday's game....He is #22 (The tallest one you see right there...)

Here he is carrying the ball and you can only see his helmet, if you look at the referree, you'll see it
He is on the ground here, fixing to recover a fumble
He's on the far left, trying to block this punt.....
Landon, his best friend Max, and Haven at the game.....
This game was dedicated to the memory of his classmate, Shaniah Farmer who died last March in a car accident. If you'll look at the back of his helmet, you'll see a round sticker with the letters "SF" on them. The pink duct tape wrapped around their shoes was also for Shaniah, along with breast cancer awareness...
Mason's friend Noah wore his Shaniah sweatshirt....
So happy Pop and Mama Kaye got to see this awesome game!
Both Mason and Landon play their play off game tomorrow at 11am in two separate towns. This makes me sad because we will be split up and missing a game. The joys of having two athletes!

That is so cool that they dedicated the game to Shaniah! So sweet...
