The USA Rugby South Panthers select side program is holding an open tryout for the teams set to play in the Las Vegas Invitational in March.
This will be for the Boys HS Elite and Girls HS Elite 7s brackets at the LVI, and will serve as the opening round in the North American HS 7s elite-level series.

The relatively new Harpeth Harlequins program completed their first fall of 7s rugby, and with it won the Tennessee state 7s championships.
