The Hurricanes!

A couple of weeks ago Robert, Eric and I got to go watch Matthew (#4) play intramural football at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. It was a lot of fun to see Matt out on the field again! His team (The Hurricanes) are undefeated. There are about 8 teams total. They keep track of stats and team sportsmanship! Matthew is having a lot of fun playing on the team. He said out of the 20 or so kids on the team -- only 3 are not married! Eric was a little shocked when the teams came out on the field together and ran side by side around the track once and then before the game started someone said a prayer over the intercom. Matthew said that both teams share the same locker room and when they tackle someone they have to help the guy back up (it's good sportsmanship to do this)! Matthew also said that sometimes he forgets because he is in such a hurry to get back to the huddle! A little different than High School Sports.

Half-time Entertainment!
This guy was pretty entertaining! His name was Nacho. At half-time they had all the little kids chase him around the field. The first one to catch him got some free nachos from the snack bar!
