This is probably the first of many posts to come about Michael and football. His freshman year he played lacrosse, his sophomore year he played basketball, in a strange turn of events he wasn't able to play basketball his junior year. This summer he's taken up football. He's doing amazingly well for someone who hasn't played football before; but then he got his Dad's natural athletic ability. Being ambidextrous doesn't hurt either.
We left YW camp early on Friday and hurried home for a shower and then headed to Tooele where Michael was playing in a "Midnight 7 on 7" tournament. It was fun to be there and watch him and when the lost their midnight game at 1 am, we were kind of happy to be heading home.

There was an article in the Salt Lake Tribune about Timpanogos Football and Michael got his own paragraph: (too bad they spelled our name wrong:( )
The New Guy
Senior receiver Mike Rice is one player King is looking at this season to be a major part of the Timberwolves offense. Although it's his first year on the team, Rice has shown tremendous potential in both speed and agility. Although he doesn't have the varsity experience, he could be a major asset to Timpanogos if he can stay focused.
Way to go, Michael. We're looking forward to our fall on the bleachers at THS!

I would LOVE to watch my baby brother play football. Way to go, Mike!
How exciting to be talked about in the paper...even if they did get the name wrong. Can't wait to hear all about his football career.
Thanks for being such supportive parents and giving up a good night's sleep. Enjoy your blog Janet. You are one special lady.
Great review. I hope he gets more playing time than at Tooele. I don't know how you stayed awake that long.
Way to go Mike. I hope football goes well for you. I loved watching you and Brent play LaCrosse.
