Ohio's own Westpark looked very good in a highly competition Boys Tier II division of the National Sevens Youth Rugby Championships n Cleveland, Ohio. 

Here's a look at the games on Day One:

USA South Red 0-29 Celina

USA South kicked off started the game by kicking to Celina, and Schappaugh caught it and took off toward the try zone, beating several defenders before scoring. USA South received the restart but were taken into touch. Lineout Celina, and Sumpter broke through for a try and a 12-0 lead. 

A chaotic series of events followed after a not-straight throw-in at a Celina lineout. The South took the scrum, but then lost the ball and Celina was back on the attack. A few good offloads led to an easy score for Celina, again by the big man Schappaugh, and a 19-0 lead.

Celina kicked to start the second half,  with a well-executed pop to the middle of the field. A floating pass was almost intercepted by a Celina defender but knocked on, which was adjudged to be intentional and resulted in a yellow card. This gave USA South some momentum, but a mishandled ball gave Celina another chance.

Another ball control mistake from USA South and Celina was off to the tryline. Down 24-0 USA South tried to building something again, but the Legion took the ball away and Hudson scored to finish it off 29-0.

Rhinos 33-5 CRA 

The Cleveland Rugby Academy started off with the ball and they started to make inroads into the Rhinos defense. But a knock-in led to a scrum and the Rhinos scored from that platform to take a 7-0 lead.

 A messy series saw CRA get the ball at midfield, but Rhinos were too quick to the breakdown, stole the ball, and raced off to score from long range again. 

Finally CRA was able to put a series of attacks together and some quick offloads off the ground and strong running produced a try and a 14-5 halftime scoreline.

CRA kicked off for the second half and Rhinos powered into contact. A strong gang tackle and poach gave the ball to CRA, and off they went.

But the Rhinos defense produced another knock-on and quick the ball was shipped to Barnson, who raced in to make it 21-5.

After losing the ball, the Rhinos gained possession and then a quick line break from speedster Wilson made it 28-5. A counterruck and quick ball saw Robinson score and that was it.

Rhinos Coach Hanno van Vuuren was happy with the effort. “We stuck to their strengths of keeping the ball alive and learning from our first match and keep tackles lower."

Westpark 19-10 LoCo

Local Ohio team West Park took on Loudoun County out of Virginia in this one and it was a close-run game. West Park opened up the scoring with an interception from Buscony. A good, deep restart kick from West Park resulted in a knock-on and a scrum to WP. They attacked off that, and two good passes set up McGowan for a try and a 12-0 lead.

LoCo kicked off in the second half and West Park worked their way into opposition territory. But mistakes from both teams saw them lose the momentum and get it back. A turnover finally set up West Park for another attack and off a scrum they were in to lead 19-0.

LoCo received the restart and finally got some continuity going. Running aggressively, they cut through for their first try. West Park then turned the ball over in the tackle and LoCo sent it wide to score again. That made it 19-10, But there wasn't enough time for more and West Park held on.

Celina 38-5 CRA

The local boys from CRA struck first early in the match. CRA was tactical, using offloads and having good support. But the Texas-based Celina side fired back with a long run from Carter Lowaik. Celina scored off of a scrum using their speed and then took advantage of CRA being offside. This all led to Celina scoring again to take a 19-5 lead into the break.

To start the half Celina scored once again off of a scrum and won a one-sided affair 38-5.

Westpark 24-7 USA South Blue

Westpark started out the game using space to their advantage and got out to an early lead. Westpark maintained possession for most of the half but could not get close to the tryline after that first try; halftime score 7-0. At the start of the second half, Westpark got the ball out to space quickly, and would score off of a penalty. Westpark used offloads to get down the field and score once more before USA South Blue got over late. 

LoCo 14-12 Rhinos

This ended up being a huge result for Loudoun County. Loco drove the ball down the field by using precise skip passing, and hard, powerful runs. Both teams defended well throughout the half but Loco broke the gridlock by scoring off a penalty as time ran out in the first half. Rhino Rugby came out strong in the second half scoring early on a long run. The Rhinos scored again but missed the conversion, just barely. Loco scored late and edged out Rhunos 14-12.

CRA 26-12 USA South Red

USA South Red controlled the game from the beginning, but handling errors made it tough for either team to get going, About midway through the half USA South broke the tie with a try from JD Rossow and a conversation from Corbin Childers. Towards the end of the half, CRA had a couple of nice offloads which led to a try: 7-7 at halftime.
CRA took the lead off with a nice set-piece play, the Panthers came back with a long run for a try. But then Cleveland Rugby Academy took over late and extended their lead to 26-12 to close out an entertaining game.
