On 4-23-2016 we travelled to Mesquite NV, to play in a season game against Cedar City. The field was awesome. Soft green grass with great views. We kicked off at 11:30am. The Black Hawks took this one right to Cedar from the start. The game was quite one sided as the Black Hawks ran in 11 tries. Try scorers were :
Mac Tebbs - 2 Tries
Oren Nell - 2 Tries
Zach Melsom - 2 Tries
Omri Nell - 1 Try
Cade Elsworth - 1 Try
Zane Ogan - 1 Try
Mason Bertsch - 1 Try
Jaron Cannon - 1 Try
All tries but one were converted by Jaron Cannon. The black Hawks defense was great, we kept Cedar away from our try line up to the last minute of the game. The final score was 75-7. It was tough to decide on Man of the match as there were several players that gave it their all during the game and had some amazing runs and plays. We had some hard hits, great break aways and tactical runs from the back line, some awesome scrummaging from the forwards. There were many things that we need to work on and improve before our next game.
I want to thank all those who took part in making this a memorable and successful day. Jenna Leigh for taking some great photos, Ingrid Millard for setting up the bake sale table for the fundraiser for the team and to all the moms who helped with running the stand.
