My Boy of FALL

I never thought I would be blogging about football! Kenyon has not shown much interest in it and we never pushed him to play. He did play one season in Tremonton but it wasn't really his favorite. When we moved he said he wanted to focus on baseball and basketball. Well this school year it's a whole new ball game!! With the opening of the brand new high school in town, Kenyon decided it was in his best interest to attend there instead of the regular high school. Even though he will not have the opportunity
to play Varsity ball until he is a Junior. He knew that he had the opportunity to be a part of a bigger plan, both with academics and sports. He started weight lifting in the summer and got to know quite a few of the boys and the coach for football. His coach told him he would make an awesome football player and encouraged him to try out. He decided to go for it and made first string. I'm so proud of him for trying something new even though he felt like he was way behind all the other players. He's coach is so amazing with the boys. I'm excited that we will be a part of LWHS football for the next four years!

KENYON IS #55!! (Same # he was with the BEARS)






***Pictures are from the first game of the season against Coconino. I was very impressed with them. This is a brand new team and they are trying to mesh together boys from 3 different schools!! They lost this game by a heartbreaking 1 point. The next week they played them again at home and smashed them 35-22. It felt awesome for them to win their very first home game in the brand new school. WAY TO GO VOLUNTEERS!!!
