The Woodlands HS team traveled from Houston to the Kansas City area to play the Kansas City Jr. Blues and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Strong HS teams in the middle of the country are looking for games and that's why Woodlands out of Texas will spend the weekend in Kansas City.
Longtime Kansas City Junior Blues Head Coach Eddie Cummings is hanging it up, sort of.
Cummings, who has coached the Junior Blues for 19 years, is stepping back and will see his role taken over by his son, Casey.
"I won't be completely gone," said Cummings. "I will be around to help, but the team is in very good hands."
Woodlands Rugby hosted the Kansas City Jr. Blues and the Mexico City Aztecas this weekend, as two teams going to the National Championships sought some challenging warmup competition.
In the end, both Woodlands and KC won their games against the Aztecas, and Woodlands, ranked #4 by GRR, also defeated #23-ranked Kansas City.
