In a meeting of two undefeated teams in the North Carolina school league, Hough defeated South Meck 34-14 to improve to 3-0.
This game was moved to Thursday night to avoid a winter storm coming into the area.
It was a dynamic showing by the Huskies with tries from captain Porter Kuebler, vice captain Kai Campbell, and also Andre Brown, CJ Baker, and Alai Uaisele. However, Hough also ran into problems ith the whistle, giving up far too many penalties and getting two yellow cards in the process.
Head Coach Bruce Colson praised his teams speed, power, and rugby IQ for overcoming the penalties, "when it counted."
Campbell, despite getting a yellow for the team being repeatedly offside, had an outstanding game as did Brown. Tui Tuionetoa played his first game for Hough at prop and was a standout, while the halfback combo of Kuebler and Max Colson kept the tempo high.
