I got a chance to see my lovely wife Pam on the field before the game started. That was a very meaningful moment to me. As much as I love to officiate, I loved having her there to share it with me. Thanks Pam. Love you.
The game itself was supposed to have been a blowout but I had other ideas of a closer game with Layton being the spoiler. The opening kickoff didn't disappoint as Layton ran it back for a touchdown. It was a tight defensive contest and Layton's offense couldn't put any points on the board. Final score Alta 19-7.
This was a great season... we only had one day of cold weather all year. The finals were played in 60 degree weather (all but the late game), and it was announced as the largest crowd ever to watch a high school game in Utah but later in the paper was reportedly the 2nd largest. Over 19,000 people to watch a game. It was fun but it sure was a big fish bowl.
I'd like to thank all the people I worked with this year. I had a great time with all of them... ok.. a few were not the best but I enjoyed this season more than any I can recall. Thanks to the great friends that have helped me along the way. I am ready to switch positions to become a full-time referee now.
