Another weekend is fast approaching and I still haven’t decided which teams I will be covering. My two real options are here in the valley, so travel isn’t an issue this time. I either go to Sky View High School or Romney Stadium. There is a possibility of doing both, just figuring out how much of each game to cover. The Bears will be hosting the Predators for a very important game for each team making the AAA playoffs. The Bears must win the game and the Predators, although they do have a mathematical chance by losing, really need to win in order for the teams to move on to the playoffs. It is a critical game for both teams and they should both play their best games possible to avoid missing the playoffs. I am thinking the first half of this game will let me know if staying for the end is necessary. I can probably stay for the first hour and then decide if I move over to the other game. It will be a difficult decision when to leave unless it is a blowout. The Stampede will be hosting the Gladiators at Utah State’s Romney stadium on Saturday as well. These are the top two teams, currently, in the AA of the Rocky Mountain Football League. The game should be well played if the Gladiators travel well. The big upside to this game for everyone else is also the biggest downside to me – location. If this game was not being played at Utah State, I would probably be to the entire game unless the Bears and Predators are tied at halftime. I have to decide it if it worth attending the game at that location. The biggest issue for me is that this could be the last game of the season for the Bears. If they lose they are out of the playoffs for sure. If they win, it should be a highly emotional game and keep their hope for a repeat alive. The Stampede will be in the playoffs of the AA for sure, so there will be more opportunities to cover them regardless. Again, depending on the score at the half, I am thinking that will make up my mind to stay or move over to the Stampede game. Either way I am hoping for some good football this weekend. -pete- |
