Grantsville vs. Bear River ... HOMECOMING!

Homecoming activities and events throughout the week were awesome. Nobody throws a Homecoming Party like Grantsville. A special thanks to all those that helped make this a special week for the Players, Student Body and Community.

Sadly we did not live up to our end of the bargain. I often tell the players that the grand finale of homecoming is a victory in the football game. We were unable to put the cherry on top of what was an incredible week. The team came out and had a great opening drive. The black jerseys are always good for a touchdown off of the emotion they generate. Then the rest of the game has to be our own emotion and effort. We were unable to match the emotion and physical-ness of our opponent Bear River. They are an outstanding football team, and I take the responsibility for not having our team more prepared and ready to play.

This year region 11 has a extra playoff spot. By defeating Ben Lomond this Friday night we can earn the additional spot and make it into the state playoffs. This is our team goal each and every year. Somehow or someway we get into the playoffs. We will practice hard and be ready to earn that final playoff spot. Then you just never know.

Thanks for your support,
Coach Tony Cloward

Friday Night Fan Fest
BLACK OUT SPECTACULAR!!

If you weren't one of the hundreds of people at Homecoming Fan Fest you missed a great party!

Everyone was "BLACK IN BLACK" this year thanks to the $2 "Black Out" Homecoming shirts! The cheerleaders helped sell over 1000 of them. We can't ever thank Coach Cloward and Chad Johnson enough for making that happen. The opinion of the Cowboy Faithful is that it should be a tradition every year here in Grantsville!

The tailgates were smokin' as usual. We even had a 30 year class reunion adding to the energy you can only feel at Fan Fest! The dance company served a wonderful dinner as the Hair Hut cut, carved and colored the heads of little ones wanting a "new look" for the big game!

Dillon Hurst brought his fabulous "40 Days Band" down for a Homecoming encore. They bring with them a big following of Grantsville Fans. THANKS Dillon ... thanks 40 Days! You were fabulous, as usual.

If the band didn't draw you, the BLOW UP's probably did. Cargill Salt made a huge donation in order for us to have them. Then Jump'n'Joey's matched that donation and doubled the amount of slides they brought for us. The little kids were thrilled!

The older kids had their own kind of fun with three 12 foot football player to catch every pass they could throw at them. That's what the blow up from Ken Garff and Terry Baird provided. The parking lot was full of "hot air" and plenty of FUN... not to mention the biggest team tunnel in Cowboy history!


Grantsville City Fire Department didn't disappoint with the fabulous fireworks. Nor did the Delaney's as they brought in the game ball on Cowboy Bob's horse. The field never looked better thanks for Jeff Killpack and his hard work. Prizes were flying through the crowd with the many donations we received for our free "Cowboy Gear" drawing.

Half time was incredible as the Cheerleaders and Larietts teamed up with the Band for a spectacular show. The induction of Terry Baird and Byron Anderson into the GHS Hall of Fame was icing on the cake. They are both wonderful men and wonderful supporters of GHS! Congratulations to both of them.

It was hard to bid farewell to such an incredible HOMECOMING week. It was full of so much fun with powder tuff volleyball, powder puff football, queen contests, pep parties and assemblies, dress up days, hall decorating, parades... all the fun that comes with Homecoming at GHS! Not to mention welcoming back the Class of 1990. WOW... what a week!

We especially want to thank THE TEAM...

for giving us somewhere to be on Friday nights...

for giving us a reason to have Fan Fest...

for giving us something to cheer about...

for bringing HOMETOWN PRIDE back to

Grantsville High School!

Come cheer on the boys as they take on Ben Lomond and honor the SENIORS this Friday. Fan Fest will be held as usual, beginning at 5:00! Be sure you don't miss out on the fun or the memories!
