Two days before the first game we were able to register exactly 15 players, enough to be considered a team. The Monday before the game we had only 8 guys signed up and consistently coming to practices so we were hoping to convince Coach Higgs that we need to join forces with Davis' team once again. When we showed up for practice there were 16 guys there ready to sign up! So we barely had a team but that was good enough because we were already on the state schedule to play.
We thought that the Alta team would be easy to beat because in years past (they are still a pretty new team formed in Spring of 2005) they were not very good! They ended up being really good and much bigger than they used to be. For a team that was basically thrown together at the last minute with guys who had never played the game before we did alright. We even scored thanks to Kody catching a kick and running past everyone into the endzone!
Our guys came out relatively injury-free with only a hurt wrist, dislocated thumb and a couple of bloody noses! The only bad injury was when Parker tackled one of the big guys on Alta's team and his knee
cap dislocated!

Love the new blog site for the rugby team (and aren't they all handsome, as well as intimidating?!)and especially like that you've added the schedule so that we know when and who they are playing, in case we want to show up!
