PROVO, Utah (Oct. 24, 2009) — Team “Fresh Legs” and Team “Weight Watchers” mixed rosters Saturday to play a blue/white game. The White team beat the Blue team, 4-2 on Haws Field in front of about 100 people in cloudy, cool weather. Dan Watkins and Brandon Leroy were some of the players who scored in the game.

“My team lost again but it was a lot of fun,” said Hugh VanWagenen. “We had a great turnout this year. It’s great. There’s not a whole lots of kids from my generation…but great day, great fun.

“It’s fun seeing the guys, but we could meet somewhere and see each other,” said former player and coach, Tom Skousen. “It’s not that. It’s seeing them in context. We belong on the grass together. It’s the connecting with the guys on the field that’s fun.”

The game was the culmination of a successful alumni weekend.

“It was a great weekend,” said Corey Cuvelier. With the number of alumni that were here, it was probably the most successful turnout we’ve had. We had about 40 over the course of the two days.”

“Today’s game was good. Very slow paced, a lot of out of shape guys and so it was just fun. The team I had won it 4-2 so I rigged it just enough to give us just a few fresh legs.”

“Once you’re out of shape, you’re out of shape. The weight watchers had wisdom in their feet,” said Hugh VanWagenen.
