PLAYOFFS!!!!!
We made it to the playoffs for the second year in a row. We had to travel to St. George to play Snow Canyon, the number 2 team in the nation. As we were warming up we weren't taking the game very seriously, and the coaches were getting mad at us. Before the game our coaches told us no matter what happened on the field they were proud of us and we had nothing to loose. We started the game off kind of shaky; letting Snow Canyon score a quick try, the equivalent to a touchdown in football. As we lifted each other up we scored and then scored again to go up 12-5, but Snow Canyon wasn't worried because they scored two tries. The score was now 22-12 with 5:30 left in the half we were desperate to score, and we did 17-22 with 3:20 left. We got the ball back and as the clocked ticked down we need to score to tie the game, but we were unable to score. Snow Canyon would go on to score two more tries and a field goal, and we were unable to score again. Snow Canyon won 17-35 and would later go on to win he state tittle.

Making the playoffs
With only two games left and a record of 8-1 we only had to win one of the two games to make the playoffs. Our first game we played East high. We by one point for the whole game, but with four minutes left East had the ball with a chance to win. With an inexperienced winger, someone who plays on the sides near the sidelines, East ran the ball right at him. With a three on one advantage East knew they were going to score once they got outside the winger the only one who could stop them was the fullback, almost like a free safety in football, but he was unable to catch them before they scored. We got the ball back, but by that time there was no time left on the clock and East won 25-21. Our next game was Brighton and we were still upset about the loss to East. We started the game out fired up and by halftime we were up 35-5. We stared to slow down in the second half and Brighton was able to score three more times, but we matched them. The final score was 60-20 and West Jordan was going to the playoffs for the second time in two years.

Staying up til 12
Practically crawling through the front door after a four hour rugby practice; all I wanted was looking forward to was eating food and going to bed. Instead my mom told me I had to get all my homework before anything. I had a project for anatomy,essay in humanities, and I still had to take my pictures for photography. One top of all that it was due the next day, talk about procrastination. Once I finally finished all my homework it was 10:30, but I still had to make dinner. I made myself three packages of Roman. Once dinner was over and my teeth were brushed it was 12:00 and threw myself on my bed. The next thing I knew I was fast asleep.
