Borderwarz

Three of the Jordan Ute Football Bantam teams put together a team to play in Borderwarz, a postseason football tourney that was held in Woods Cross, UT this year. Each evening leading up to the tournament, the team practiced under the lights and on the astroturf at

Jordan High School.

Come game night, we bundled up as though we were heading to Antarctica. We had many layers on, hot chocolate at the ready, and our Digger spirit along for the ride. The game started at 8PM, the same time as a huge snowstorm blew in. The flakes were about 2" in diameter and the football became a slippery rock. We lost to a team from Vernal, UT. The next day, it was sunny, but we again lost. This time, to a team from Idaho. Both teams that we played had some huge kids on their teams.

Football season is officially over. We enjoyed supporting the boys and their coaches and getting to know the other families. I love the fact that at the end of the tournament, Cole said, "well, I was happy with the way I played, even if we didn't win.". Yep, that is what it's all about.
