Grantsville vs. Millard

Week three of the Cowboy Football season took a different direction than most expected.

We hosted Millard in Cowboy Stadium. Millard is one of the elite football programs in the state regardless of classification. They have the second most State Championships, second only to Skyline High of Salt Lake City. They were up on us 19 to 0 before we woke-up. Afterwards, it was a hard fought battle losing to Millard 33 to 14. A close friend of mine said it best when he said, "You didn't play bad you played young." Since the opening kick off against Wasatch our youth and lack of experience have been our challenge. Like in the Wasatch game our boys grew up and learned a lot that night.

As a coaching staff we believe pre-season is a time for growth and learning. The cowboy squad has done this. After the Millard game we had a bye last week; we have used the time to prepare for our long time rival Morgan. We will be ready for the battle that exists when these two teams take the field against one another. You don't want to miss this one.

Thanks for Your Support,
Coach Tony Cloward

Tailgating spots were at a premium as many of little league football teams chose to BBQ and celebrate what they will one day become... GHS football players! Incredible energy was bought by alumni football player, Dillon Hurst and his band. They lured many to come, join the fun. From the time they sang "Should've been a Cowboy" to the Millard Eagles... until the full to capacity stands emptied... you could feel that COWBOY PRIDE was back in full swing!

Grantsville vs. North Sanpete

The home opener against North Sanpete went AWESOME!

It started with a terrific tailgating party by the Grantsville faithful. Next the cheerleaders welcomed us to the field with their new dance number "Bring Em Out!" Then the guys took care of the rest of the night by beating the Hawks in dominate fashion. The Cowboys racked up a total of 392 total yards of offense.

We still have work to do but as a coaching staff we like the continual improvements the team is showing. Thanks to all who helped make August 28 a special night.

Grantsville vs. Wasatch

Once again we opened up the Grantsville Cowboy football season by playing Wasatch.

In typical fashion the game was hard fought and close. We entered the game with very little varsity experience and a young overall team. This showed in the first half of the game as we made some youthful mistakes. We lost the first half 13 to 0. At halftime the coaching staff reassured the team that they no longer lacked that experience . They now had a half of varsity football, so lets go to work. The team responded and won the second half 14 to 7. Making the final score 20 to 14 for Wasatch. We didn't feel like we got beat; we just felt like we ran out of time. Our physicalness and conditioning was wearing down the much bigger, talented Wasatch team. Given just a few more minutes you never know what might of happened.

The goal for this next week is to play a whole game and not just the second half. Below are the stats from week 1.
