HHS football team left Hunter @ 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning for an adventure-packed day-long game day experience. I am only aware of some of the details -- Lewis Brothers Stages (no school bus); tour of USU football facilities; pre-game dinner at Angie's Diner in Logan; and, then the game vs. Skyview in Smithfield, Utah.
Well, the first part of the day obviously went better than the outcome of the game. According to Coach Wood, Hunter's amazing offense moved the ball some 700 yards and with that impressive stat had two touchdowns called back (and without the #1 running back Hyrum Purcel -- knee injury). The Hunter defense on the other hand, as good as the kids looked last week, they could NOT defend the pass and Skyview capitalized. So, at the end of the day, we have only the final score to put a damper on an otherwise good day. I must say that the officials were a little partial to Skyview; but, the kids should be able to play through the one-sided officiating. Hopefully, the game prep focus this week will be improving the pass defense.
I must admit, with my limited football knowledge and understanding, Hunter has an amazing offense. At at the center of that offense (literally) is my son #74. Hunter's offensive line is strong and powerful. If the quarterback can get the ball to the correct receiver/back, look out!
