We are in St. George for baseball games :)  


We sure love you bud !!  Here are some words to describe you:
Fun, Happy, Crazy, Great catcher, fielder, and lover of BASEBALL
Great big brother, good son, SMART SMART in school.  Kind to others.
It was great to spend your birthday with you in Hurricane watching you play ball. 

State Wrestles !

It's over for the year, and I can say that I'm a little relieved.  I love wrestling, but it sure is a gut wrencher for everyone.  So glad for family support. 

Treyson even took off work for 2 days to come a support Tagg.  He was able to share words of encouragement and love after Tagg experienced a hard loss in the semi-finals.  Love to see the way they are there for each other. 

We talked Grandma Ben into coming down with us both days, and we are sure glad she did, and so was she !! 

This win over a Canyon View kid that had beat him previously at the Millard Duels in December was so so SWEET !!  This win, secured him a medal for sure !!

I think even Tagg was a little bit surprised :) 

He always listens to Grandpa's advice. 

I even got in a picture this time !! 

Left to Right:
6th place, T. Clark from Grantsville, 4th place D. Byars from Emery, 2nd place, O. Yama from Juab, 1st place, R. Woodward from S. Summit, 3rd place, TAGG RICH from Morgan, and 5th place, K. Blackett from Juab. 

Morgan took 16 qualifiers to State, and 10 of them placed. 
Left to Right:
Joe Belinski, Skyler Crowther, Ryler Jorgensen, Gabe Toone, Tyson Pace, TAGG RICH, Sim Wardell Jr., Luke Woolsey, Drew Korth, and Chase Allen

 

Morgan secured the 2nd place trophy once again, after getting beat last year by South Summit.  There is no touching Juab High School, which took first. 

This is one of my favorite quotes, and I think it applies to wrestling so well.  It takes GUTS to get out there on the mat.  JUST YOU..............   I don't know how they do it.  So proud of all of them.
