Inside the 22 - Mouthguards
Inside the 22 is a short opinion column by Alex Goff and perhaps some guest writers. It is limited to 22 words.
I see too many photos of players with mouthguards sticking out? Defeats the purpose. Mold it to your teeth, save brainpower.

Wando Wins South Carolina HS
Wando, ranked 1st in the state and 21st nationally, was able to capitalize on depth and experience to capture their first state title.
Greenville, ranked 2nd in the state and 25th nationally, captured the top title in 2008 and played a great match, but ultimately failed to take advantage of their opportunities to put points on the board.
Wando reached the championship match by defeating longtime rival Chapin Eagles Rugby during an April 5th playoff game, while Greenville defeated a very strong Charleston Gladiators (Summerville, SC) team in their playoff game.
