State Finals

Last night was the Idaho Division 5A High School Football finals at BSU. Capital High (where the kids will go, and who we've gone to see before) v. Eagle High. The lower bowl of the stadium was packed and there were people tailgating in the dark before the game.

Like I said before, we know some of the parents and some of the kids on the team, so we wouldn't miss the finals game. It ended up that I had to cancel a basketball practice so we could go to the game, which was good, because a lot of other basketball families ended up going too.

It was an awesome game, worthy of the finals. Capital lost 22-21, Eagle faking the extra point and making the two point conversion. Last play of the game the Mustangs committed an unsportsman-like conduct penalty, so Capital got one final play with no time of the clock. The field goal kicker tried a 60 yard field goal attempt. It ws right down the middle, but just 5 or so yards short. It was so close!

The kids had a blast. We went out to Chili's before the game for Cori's birthday dinner. Jake's friend Tyler and his mom came too. We stayed for the whole game and ended up getting home around 11:00. We had a sleepover night (Jake with me, Faith with Marisa and Tanner in with Nana) and woke up this morning with some VERY tired kiddos. Tanner and Faith are upstairs right now for their second naps of the day, but it was worth it for that game!
