I decided to try something new this year with our Beat the Zuke contest. I've been picking the winners of high school games for 19 years now, but just to try something different, I thought it might be fun to do some video segments. Last week I went to Orem High School for our final basketball week of the season. Check it out. Hopefully you'll get a laugh.

Tell me if this is a crazy idea
I have been known for coming up with some crazy ideas in my days, but this one might be the strangest one yet.
Here it is. My idea is to have a high school seniors vs. coaches football game in May.
Doesn't sound so stange yet, but here's the kicker. It's a full contact, tackle, pads, helmets, the works.
A team consisting of soon-to-be graduating seniors will take on a team made up of coaches, former players, and celebrities.
I'm not really sure how the game will be received, I guess that's the big risk, but I'm guessing there will be a curiosity factor. People are going to want to see the coaches play. Players are going to want to go up against their coaches.
It certainly will be unique. To my knowledge now one has ever tried this. It could be a hit or it could be a flop, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
I'm not one that lives life thinking what could go wrong, I guess I'm optimistic in that way. The game is set for May 8 at Timpview High School. More details will be coming soon, and I hope both the coaches and players will go for it and have fun with it. I would like to use the proceeds, if there are any, to help fund an athletic scholarship for the Second Chance Foundation of Utah.
There just aren't enough athletic scholarships. One of my goals with the foundation is to provide an athletic scholarship for someone who needs help to keep their athletic career alive.
If I could do that with this game, it will be worth the time effort and work that will go into putting this event together.
Football in May? Why not. There's really never a bad time to play a football game.
