Saturday our Bingham Black "Wrecking Crew" had a tough fight on their hands, West Jordan was ready and waiting for us. They came right out and scored on our Defense in their opening possession...
It caught our attention and we came back with fight and determination. We went right down the field and scored with lots of awesome runs by Morgan and D. Mpungi. D. Scored and got our extra point, leaving it tied!! Our Defense seemed to take back the advantage and held them on downs, giving us back the ball. We moved the ball down the field again and scored on a perfect pass in the endzone from Gibby to a wide open Chepkwurui. Our "D" held them off just before half leaving the score 14-7 Bingham.
The third quarter was a battle of Defenses!! Chepkwurui, D. Mpungi and Morgan came up with huge drive killing interceptions. Although our offense was struggling, Gibson was able to complete passes to Peterson for a large gain, Mpungi and lots of Quarterback keepers to gain more yards. Unfortunately, we were never able to score any more touchdowns.
Our "D" worked hard to hold them, but West Jordan scored with just under 7 minutes left to go in the game, and getting the 2 point conversion, pushing it in behind their bohemian giant of a center...taking the lead at 15-14!! Our offense was struggling, missing two of our Big X Men, we had given all we could. Gibson tried to make magic but we came up short!!
Losses are hard...first losses are even harder...but speaking from experience...going undefeated in regular season is good...but...winning a championship would be AWESOME!! So I think will take our loss now...learn from it, improve on it, become better and work harder!!!
And to West Jordan...unfortunately...I think you just woke a sleeping giant...
We will look forward to meeting you again in the Playoffs and next time we will be ready!!!
But for today, get ready for Olympus!! Let's practice hard, take our intensity level up a notch and see what happens...this is where CHAMPIONS are made!!!!
LETS GO BINGHAM BLACK!!!
