Day Two of the Viking 7s at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash. sees the playoff rounds beginning.
The tournament attracted an impressive group of contenders, and also included a unique twist to the seeding that made things a little more competitive for the smaller teams.

The hints were that Friday looked for a few more athletes who required some grooming. He looked for height, and rangy runners. One guy he didn’t pick, Garrett Brewer, is still almost the perfect example of the kind of athlete he wanted to look at.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – USA Men's 7s Head Coach Mike Friday has named his squad to play in the opening tournament of the 2014-15 IRB HSBC Sevens World Series in Australia.
