Rugby Championship Tournament

Saturday March 3rd. 
Here was the Tournament breakdown.  Since we were seeded 1st.  We had a Bye our 1st round.  So we didn't have to play until 9:15 and we played the winner of game #1 the Force or Red, either of which we had killed every single time.   After we won that we wouldn't have to play until the final game at 11:45 against whomever won game 6.  Well, that's exactly how it happened.  The Red's beat the Force and we killed the Reds 32 -10.

 Taiven Cluff, in Red.  He played this year and loved it.
 David making his Try.
 High-Five's
 Not letting go of the ball until he gives it to Ben to kick.
 Ben tackling a guy out of bounds.
 Another tackle by Ben.
 Look at Ben's face!  I LOVE that they finally play a game during the day so that I can get good picture's.
 Another tackle by Ben that leads to a scrum for us.
Final score!
For the final match for 1st place we played against the Sunwolves and we beat them every time we played them too but they have Austin Turnbow on their team who is the best football player in Ben's grade.  He goes to Desert Hills.  He and Ben have become pretty good friends over the season.  We also learned the night before this tournament that Ben made the All-Star Team again!  We are not surprised.  He is the MVP of the league if the had one.   He scored more points than the entire other teams all put together the entire season.  I kept track!  The only thing is...the first All -Star game is next weekend up at East High School in Northern SLC.  He will have practice on Tuesday- Thursday from 5-7pm from now until the end of MAY!   WOW!  I forgot how much that is.  No wonder he loves this sport.  It's going to be a lot of fun.  The Well's family showed up right as the game started so I didn't get any picture's of them.  But I did of these 2 goons.




 Bens' Try.

David tackling Austin Turnbow.  David and Goliath! 

 It's GOOD!!!

 Ben with the ball.
 Ben still with the ball.  I just love how all the guys on the sideline can't take their eyes off of Ben.
 Another Kick!


 Ben wrapping his guy up and trying to strip the ball out.
 Final score!  Ben repeats!  This is his 2nd year in a row winning the end of year tournament.  Back 2 Back!



 This was our end of Season picture because this kid hurt his knee.  And because our coach wasn't even here today.  We won this without him.  He had a wedding to go to.  So that tells you even more about these boys.  They are amazing!  Go Sharks!  Here is a list of who made the all-star team.  We will do well. I can't wait to see what happens.
