How was your Friday?

This first photo says it all....
Needless to say it was a good night at the Smith home. Jordan had a spectacular game against Springville. I was texting an update every five minutes to my brother Ed, who was out of town and to Brendan's brother, Chris, who lives in Minnesota, two of Jordan's biggest fans. I figured that copying my texts to them is a pretty good way to document the game.

1. "Jordan threw 100 percent 5 for 5 for a 73 yard drive and then he ran it in for Lehi's first touchdown of the season on our first possession of the game! The crowd went crazy! 7 to 0 Pioneers with 6:45 left in the first."

2. "It's the 2nd quarter. We are now up 14 to 0. The last score was a 6 yard run into the end zone. Jordan threw a sweet 25-30 yard pass to Jordan Dew that was caught!"

3. "Two passes into the end zone were missed, but we scored a field goal. 17 - 0."

4. "Last second touchdown by them right before the half. 17 to 7."

5. "Fight! Two Springville players ejected! CJ (our best running back we have left) just hurt his knee. His Dad went down and said he'll be ok. It was just a twist. Whew!"

6. "Jordan just ran it up the middle about 45 yards on a QB keeper. He ran SO fast. He got stopped on the 10, but we got another field goal. 20 to 7!"

7. "Jordan's in as receiver now. He just caught a pass for a 12 yard gain."

8. "I guess the coach wanted to give the back up sophomore QB some experience, but he's not doing too good. He looks nervous and just had a turnover. The whole crowd started chanting, 'Jordan!' Jordan!' 'Jordan!' He's back in as the quarterback now."

9. "Another field goal with 2 min. to go in the 3rd. 23 to 7"

10. "WE WON!!!!" 25 to 16 thanks to a safety by Bear! Right after the game ended, the players ran out to the field to celebrate and then they came back to the sideline, took off their helmets, and took a bow! The crowd went wild. All the kids ran down on to the field with the team to celebrate!"

Big Smiles from my boys after a Big WIN! Jordan to Jordan!

It seemed like half the school went over to Sonic to celebrate afterwards. We stopped by to honk our horn and get some slushies. The guy at the drive thru window said, "Sorry about the wait, I don't know why we have hundreds of kids here from Lehi High school." We told him that they had just won a really big football game. To which he responded, "No offense, but who cares about football?" ARE YOUR KIDDING ME???!!!!!

We came home to our recorded versions of the news and were thrilled to see the following recap of the game on Channel 2...

I'll be posting some great photos of the game to this post as soon as I get them from the photographer. I'll apologize now and should say that we should rename this blog...Lehi High Football Central for the next few months. It consumes our whole family completely (yes, even Allison looks forward to the games). So if football isn't your thing, check back at the end of October. For you die hard fans, stay tuned for a great season!
