GRR: Hough
The Hough Huskies finally got to play an actual rugby game in North Carolina's school league Thursday night, and celebrated a win as well.
After their first two opponents canceled on them, the Huskies were able to play against a tough Marvin Ridge side this week.
Despite an early red card to Hough, the Huskies won 27-5.
Hough Huskies won their 4th North Carolina boys fall 7s this past weekend, defeating a very tough Marvin Ridge in the final.
Led by captain Porter Kuebler, who has enjoyed an excellent fall and was the star of the day also, the Huskies held off Marvin Ridge 19-12.
Max Colson, Patrick Kuebler, and Andrew Brown all scored tries for Hough.
But that wasn’t all.
The Carolina Ruggerfest produced some girls performances of note.
And as we look toward a March and April in girls rugby some of the teams involved put their hands up.
The Hough Huskies capped off an undefeated season in North Carolina's single-school competition with a 40-10 defeat of Marvin Ridge Saturday in the league's championship game.
Hough will play Marvin Ridge in next week’s North Carolina School final, providing fans with a replay of last year’s championship match.
Both teams won their semifinals Friday night via shutout.
Hough won comfortably over Sun Valley, taking the game 56-0 (officially listed as 35-0 per NCYRU rules). But when we get to knockout rugby all bets are off about winning margins.
