Leave It All On The Field










Grandma Bonnie and her booming cheer voice grandpa Ray learning the game as we go. Shawn and I screaming till we are horse, waving our Giggity sign. It was some incredible game Saturday. There was never an inch given either way. We started out scoring 3 to O but they came back and the fight was a serios scrapple like I have never seen. It was amazing. I was so pleased with my Goalie Rowley. He shut them Timberwolves down over and over. 15 saves. I could not have asked for more. For all the effort a trophy would have been nice, but unnecessary.By Laurie MaddoxWSL Special CorrespondentBOUNTIFUL, Utah – Senior middie Braden Lanham brought it all to Timpanogos’ state championship match-up with Spanish Fork on Saturday afternoon: 19 ground balls, nine face-off wins, one goal, one assist – and healthy respect for opposing goalie Taylor Rowley.The Timberwolves (12-5) needed it all to dispatch Spanish Fork, 7-6, and win the Utah High School Lacrosse League Division II state championship in the second game of a championship day quadruple-header at Viewmont High School.Attackman Winston Farley had three goals to lead all Timpanogos scoring, midfielder Jon Wagstaff added a goal, and attackman Stewart Handley provided two when it counted most, scoring both with under a minute left to preserve the Timberwolves’ victory.Spanish Fork (12-3) was led by attackman Algernon Baxter with three goals. Midfielder Freddie Davis added two goals and an assist for the Warriors and attackman David Takasaki added a goal. Lanham, a Division II First-Team All-State MVP, said the game’s outcome was uncertain even to him until the final 11 seconds, when he won the final face-off and shut down any attempt by Spanish Fork to tie the score and send the game into overtime.“They’re fighters, really mentally tough. The toughest thing is their goalie,” Lanham said of Rowley and his 15 saves in the championship game.The victory reversed the outcome of the only other meeting between the two teams, which Spanish Fork won, 8-6, in a regular-season game April 27.“We knew it was going to be our two teams in the championship,” Lanham said. “If you compare both of us, we’re the better team because we have so many contributing players, and they have a few star players.”Timpanogos head coach Mike Schow said he told his players at the final timeout to dig deeper than they ever had before, and the players complied. “It just showed the tenacity and heart of these boys,” he said. SF Lacrosse takes second
Story 2

Spanish Fork and Timpanogos battled for the State Division 2 Lacrosse Championship on Saturday. Warriors took a painful loss (7-6) to end up 2nd in the state.
For a building team, this is an incredible victory. Warriors fought a hard battle against Timpanogos for the Division 2 state title. First to score and ahead most of the game, Warriors' tough defense kept the Timberwolves at bay with goalie Taylor Rowley getting 17 saves.
Timpanogos defense was also strong completely shutting out Zach Christiansen and Tanner Porter who are usually top scorers. Warrior goals were made by Algee Baxter (3), Freddie Davis (2), and David Takasaki (1). Season awards include 1st Team All State Algee Baxter and 2nd Team All-State Tanner Porter. All Conference 1st Team players are Algee Baxter, Zach Christiansen, Dallin Kimber and Tanner Porter. Freddie Davis and Taylor Rowley made All Conference 2nd team.
Congratulations to head coach Jesse Thorpe, and assistant coaches Phil Dunn, Tom James and Josh Thacker. Warriors want to thank the Spanish Fork, Salem, Payson, Mapleton and Springville communities for their support.
They also want to thank Spanish Fork High School for the use of their practice field and American Leadership Academy for letting the team practice on their turf field in preparation for the state tournament.
Warriors also wish to thank the senior players who leave more than just a season, but leave the team they helped to build from the very beginning. These strong players took it upon themselves to attend camps to learn how to play the game, to find fall and winter teams to play with to improve their skills.
They have provided important leadership for the team and we gratefully send them on to other opportunities to lead and inspire others. Go Warriors!

The Year of The Warriors





Tay in the grasp of the defensive team bear hug.



Tonight was yet another demonstration of what 3 1/2 hours of practice a day will do for a team. The semi finals were held in Park City tonight.Loaded with umbrellas and rain jackets we watched the Warriors consume the field. It was a tough fight for every point in the first half. The Warriors have not played on turf and had some adjusting to do.The second half ended 15 to 10. We are one happy group of mama's and papa's yelling till we were horse and shedding a few tears. I have made banana muffins for the last 2 playoff games and now they are dubbed the winning formula muffins. So Saturday at 1pm we will be in Salt Lake... somewhere, biting our nails. I will load another basket of muffins and go watch the true Final game of the season. It will be a doooozy. Oh how I love Lacrosse because Lacrosse has loved the boy.

Seriously Bad Hair Day

Hair our joy and the bain of our existence. Color, length, texture. Whatever you got you were wishin for something else at some point. My girls have the most beautiful hair. It has tones of butter, sand, and gold. They begged to color it by junior high. Are you kidding women die for your hair color. I mean litterally kill brain cells sitting under toxic fumes, wrapped in tinfoil for hours resulting in burned off chicken hairs.

Gabby's hair is shared by many an Anderson gene . When she was with Maddie Wendy named them frizz and fuzz when they would walk hand in hand and you were watching from the back.

We make a big deal as you enter the world to note your full head of jet black hair ( cute as a baby monkey) or the fact that you are bald as a cue ball for the first 18 months.

Last month I told Taylor that I would pay his cell phone bill if I could cut his hair. He cringed as his lovely curly ends fell to the floor. He thinks his beattles recreation is a chick magnet. And it is.. but hey Im the mom.

Im considering a yard sale based solely on hair product. After all we have 1/4 inch barrels and 1 1/2 inch barrels, straighteners with steam and ceramic flat irons, perm rollers in tight pink and loosy goosy blue, got to be cream pomade, bedhead, hair goo, big and sexy spray, styling paste and gum, and of course a color spectrum of gel for any hold you want. We have extensions in 3 colors, and no Gabby cant wear black clipped on hair to a charter school so why I ask you?? Headbands, skinny doubles, leather ties, barettes that have ducks, flowery clips, bows and hair bands clear, colored, striped . Depending on your mood you can choose a band with or without a metal bracket depending on how much whinning you crave when you remove the thing at night . Im just sayin whats the dealio?? I have loved Mollyand Ems hair pixie short and loose and long. I have hated Ginger and Amys growth rate why do they get 3 inches a month and I get 1/2 an inch. Grandma Kate had auburn hair well into her 70's I always thought it was her color, really I did. Now at 45 Jenny pulls 5 greys when she did my hair last, say it isnt so! I could care less how many decades I say I have been alive but grey hair now that says old, right?? Or is it wise and distinguished. I have tried to not be to caught up in this torant of tresses thus we have one hair variation at our home some up some down. No fishbone braids or french knots at our house. Still it has penitrated clear to the tub, There stands 5 bottles of shampoo ranging from .97 cents to 9 dollars and seventy cents. Isnt this a dead cell I ask. Why the fuss, the muss the tears, the appointments folowed by more tears. Im just wondering isnt thier something also to be said for a bad hair day. Cant we learn from a bad side ponytail, bangs cut alfalfa short or a clippy that falls loose. Dont you think its a good giggle to see hair in disaray. So I petition you lets join in freeing ourselves of this bondage to our Couf.







What if you had Finns hair front and back now thats something to think about, having a fuzzy but!
