South All-Star Tourney Set for Saturday
South All-Star Tourney Set for Saturday
Life University hosts the South Regional All-Star Tournament this weekend, with seven teams in the Boys Varsity Bracket.
With the programs expanding ever into JV and, in the future, middle school select-side rugby, tournament host Dan Payne said that this South RAST may well outgrow Life's rugby facility. But for now, the size it just right.
"With seven Varsity teams and four JV teams, we are running 11 games on Day One as it is," said Payne. "It's great. We wanted to do this because we wanted to facilitate High School rugby in the South. We are in a central location, so it made sense, but because it's been successful it will probably outgrow us."
The teams in the Varsity bracket are:
North Carolina
South Carolina
Georgia
Florida High Performance
Louisiana Exiles
Smokey Mountain Athletic Conference (Tennessee)
Tennessee Tri-Stars
North Carolina defeated South Carolina last weekend in a warmup. Louisiana has an outstanding record of winning select-side tournaments, notably ythe Rocky Mountain Challenge, where they surprised many over the years.
Florida has split their squad, sending a separate group to Pittsburgh.
