GRR: Arkansas Stormers
It was a successful weekend for Germantown as the Tennessee HS team traveled to Little Rock, Ark. to play the Junior Stormers and also the Kansas City Jr Blues.
In what was the first game of the season for both Germantown and KC, while the Stormers had already pitched up in a loss to Bixby.
Boys high school rugby is slowly getting into gear, and while March will see a larger number of teams ramp it up, we do have some games to look at this weekend.
High School rugby may be returning in the field this spring, at least in some areas.
Of course states are varied in how they have dealt with high school sports, and with some football or soccer seasons being bumped to the spring, other sports, such as rugby, have had to adjust.
It’s not easy for the Little Rock Junior Stormers to get some notice, if only because they are the only high school rugby team in Arkansas.
That seems a little weird given that Arkansas has two very strong college teams, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
It was a very busy winter break for Ruben de Haas.
The Arkansas-based scrumhalf attended the USA U20 (aka Men’s Junior All-American) camp before Christmas, and then the High School All-American camp after Christmas.
Since both camps were in Arizona, he and his family, naturally, spent December 25 in Las Vegas, as you do.
