Fartytoohearty Blog

Its been awhile.

Well I havent posted a blog on here in quite awhile. So heres one.

I never told any of you about my senior season of football. I had a great season started at RB and MLB, my stats were pretty nice too, but ill tell you them at the end of the blog. I was named one of the team captains, along with Travis Broughton(QB), James Bozarth(RG/DT), and Jake Henry(TE/OLB). We went to football camp on June 25, 2006 and were there for one week. It was an awesome camp, probably the best I ever had. We were all sooooo excited about the upcomming season. We were set on getting state.

Well camp ended and the season started with an away game in august. We all thought we would go in there blow them out and get the win. Well the first play of the game we ran 02 (HB Dive) I took off up the middle and ran it all the way, for a 65 yard TD run. Our kicker kicked the feild goal and we were up 7-0 with just about 30 seconds off the clock. We got a stop the next drive and our offense went back onto the feild. We ran 02 once again, but the QB keptit himself and went running around the end of the line, he just passed the first down marker and juked out a LB when all ofa sudden a player came in and took out his knee. He was down... Turned out he tore a ligament andwould have to missthe rest of the season. Whichsucks.. Then our 2nd string QB came out and we tried to pass the ball.. well it got intercepted and ran in for a TD. So it was 7-7.No onescored again till the second half and we ended up winning 24-17.

Withour QB gone we had to change around the offense some, we put a WR in at QB, cause the second string QB is only a freshman. We went 3-0through the first 3 games. Then we lost the 4th and James bozarth,one of the captains, and the starting RG and DT got injured... broke his arm. So there we were without two of our best players. We lost the next game also, to giveus a 3-2 record.Then anotherloss so we were 3-3,our coach gave the team a speech after that game ill never forget, telling us that we can either sit there and let our season go down the drain, or stand up andfight, and makethis a year to remember. Well thats just what we were gonna try and do!

Wewent on a 3 game winning streak against some tough in district opponents, which gave us a 6-3 record. We had one game left and we had to win it or we wouldnt get into the playoffs. It was against in county Rival North Bullitt. We were determined to win no matter what. And man it was an exciting game. About 10 minutes before the game started it just started raining like crazy. By the time the game started the entire feild was nothing but mud. We fought through the first half and I had one of the best halfs Ive ever had. I rushed for 156 yards and 2 TDs, and had 9 tackles 1 sack and a INT. We went into the half down 14-7. We were tired, dirty, cold, and beat up. But I tried to get the team pumped up anyways! We came back out there and kicked it off, I came running down feild and hit their kicker at the 3 yard line. It was 1st down and they had it at the 3, well jake henry blitzed and he hit the running back in the endzone for a safety! We got the ball and went downfeild but got stopped and had to settle for a feild goal. It was now 14-12. Well after that im not sure what happened our team just kinda fell apart it seemed like. We ended up losing 30-12.

We ended up going 6-4, even though i had a amazing season... we didnt even make the playoffs. But oh well its over now.

Spring Football

Oh yeah! I love this time of year! we had our first practice today for spring training. It was alot of fun, I got lots of time in at RB and i did pretty good too! Our QB travis broughton did really good only missing two throws (neither really his fault). Our new WR is a sophmore named garrett foss. He did pretty well he is fast but he needs to learn how to adjust his routes... I ran all over our second team defense today! But i also got some time in at d-end and LB, i did all right (knocked the crap outta the second string RB a couple of times). We got this transfer student named tommy rice, he is the biggest guy i have like ever seen he wieghs like 340 pounds... he plays guard and he had so many pancakes... well i think our team looks pretty good this year (even though we lost so many players last year...) so wish us luck with the season! (even though its a long way off)

Time to get ready for this season

Welli had a nice break but now its back to work. We started lifting about two weeks ago. I liked the break but i am so glad to be back to football, i love the intensity and just hanging out with my friends.

If you all didnt know last year i played TE, but this year they are switching me to RB (hopefully i do good this year). So far i can lift more then the rest of the RB's and second fastest (tony knox is faster). In March their is a weight lifting meet and alot of people on my team are going to it, it should be fun.

Well lets hope its another great season here at Bullitt East, we did lose alot of great players last year but i think some of us younger players can step it up. I guess ill just have to wait till the season begins to find out though huh?

We got beat 42-14

Well it's all over, we got stopped. My high school football team got beat in the state semi-finals, by the Bowling Green Purples. I thought we had a chance to go all the way. We did so many great things this season, we had an undefeated regular season, set a school record for straight wins andgot the farthest in the play-offs in our school history. It is kinda sad though cause we had some great senior players that deserved to go to state. In fact ill name a few and tell about them. Josh Mutter(CB/HB)- my cousin and one of the team captains, He had 14 picks this season and rushed for 998 yards. James Clark(RG)- 6' 2" 328 pounds this guy could plow anyone over and open up any hole that our coach wantes open, plus he didnt let up any sacks this year. Kyle Mullins(WR)- great wide reciever and extremely fast. He made catches that i havent even seen some of the pros make. Daniel Herth(ILB)- man this guy was strong, one of the strongest on our team with a bench of 390. I think he was very underated and should of got recruited by some college for football but he is getting looks from some colleges for basketball. Corey Rakes(RB/OLB)-Best runningback I've ever seen, fast, strong and great feild vision, he also was another team captain. He rushed for 2,105 yards this season, any of you who know anything about high school football should Know that is quite a feat.

Well our season is over butcome January wewill start practicing again and getting ready for next season.

Were getting state baby!

We Won!

My high school football team just won the regional championship! this is the farthest we have ever gone in the play offs, in school history. we beat the defending state championship 35-33! it all came down to thier last offensive play of the game. they were on the 7 yard line on 4th down, they dropped back to pass and belive it or not a lineman picked it off. there was 2 minutes left and all we had to do was run out the clock and it was over. now we move on to semi state, one more win and we move on to the state championship!

Go Chargers!
