Cowboy Football: Grantsville vs. Ben Lomond

Grantsville vs. Ben Lomond

The regular season has come and gone. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we attended summer football camp at Snow College. Now we have honored our seniors at their last home football game and are preparing for our playoff run.

This years senior class has been a special one, they are not large in numbers but big in heart. They have been dedicated, loyal and hard working. It was a great experience to see them be honored and what made the night even better was qualifying for the state playoffs.

We didn't play are best football against Ben Lomond but we found a way to win. It's the most important stat of a game. Grantsville has now qualified for the state playoffs for 7 consecutive seasons dating back to 2001 when we lost to Ogden in the first half of the Three Ring Circus. Now we must focus on what I believe is the top 3A team in the state, Park City. They are averaging 48 points a game with two of the best players in football. Our task is huge but its the playoffs and you never know.

Thanks for your support,
Coach Tony Cloward

Fan Fest says Goodbye
until next year!

Fan Fest wrapped up this year with a special visit from the team. It was emotional as the players made their way through the crowd THANKING the Grantsville Faithful for their tremendous support this year. They also signed autographs for the little one's, as well as favor us with a dance or two. However, when it came to dancing Coach Caf out shined everyone!

The GHS band joined in last team tunnel of the year. Their fabulous music brought everyone to the sidewalk. Even the die-hard tailgaters left their post to give one last HOMETOWN cheer to the team of 2009. Again, emotional.

Thanks to all who've helped to turn Fan Fest into something greater than anyone could have ever imagined!
