Here We Go . . . .

Here we go . . . the season has started! The Cougs stepped onto the game field for their first game, the Blue & White! The girls have been working hard during two-a-days, and were looking forward to playing on South Field with fans cheering them on. The girls are headed to Colorado College to play their first exhibition game.

The pre-season is full of two-a-days, meetings, and fitness tests, but it is also full of team bonding activities. Every year the girls have an annual slip-n-slide day, where they slide down a giant slip-n-slide at rapid speeds. This year, our dear Erica Owens unfortunately broke her leg a day before the season started. She has been in good spirits, and has been a positive, encouraging support to her teammates.

The girls also had their annual retreat at the Manning’s cabin, where they embarrass the freshmen, eat good home cooked food, and play funny games. A special thanks to the Manning’s for taking care of us and letting us stay at their cabin. The girls also gave a fireside at a stake in Spanish Fork. The girls clean up nice, and they did a great job speaking to the youth and their families.

We have a great group of girls on and off the field, and check back to see how the Cougs are doing!
