The Utah red and white game was a great success with thousands of fans and
excitement from the Sugar Bowl still overflowing. Except for one thing..... Before the team scrimmage they invited the former players to come and enjoy a friendly flag football game. However as you can see from the picture above it is not always so friendly. It is hard for these guys who are ultra competitive and great athletes (at least formerly) to not play full out.
Lance #16 was feeling a little pressure to step up his game because at their fall scrimmage lets just say he did not have his best game. So he went out last Saturday to play hard and he sure did. He threw for two touchdowns over 50 yards and caught an interception when he was playing defense. Then just before halftime he was
scrambling at the goal line and leaped for the endzone and Morgan
Scalley was ready to stop him. Lance flipped and fell landing head and shoulder first. He was unconscious for a few seconds and just kept repeating the same questions. Well needless to say he had a concussion.
The kids were not worried they were just excited to be down on the field.
Peyton is already trying to teach
Kempton how to play catch.
Lexi immediately made new friends with the cheerleaders and performed Utah Man after every touchdown.
Lance was glad his sacrifice was not
in vain his team did win. Coach Whit called the next day to make sure all was well and congratulated Lance on one of the most exciting plays of the day. Go Utes!

Nick told me about that. I'm glad he's okay!
Tell Lexi I will teach her cheers any day!
Way to go Lance! If you notice any persistent issues related to your concussion I will be glad to stop by and tutor Mindy in cognitive rehab. The pics of the kids are just the cutest.
