GRR: Rugby Washington
The Budd Bay Barbarians of Olympia Wash. upset Liberty 28-23 to win the Washington state championship Saturday in Seattle.
Liberty will meet Budd Bay in the Rugby Washington DI Boys final after both won their semifinals on Saturday.
It was a difficult victory for Liberty, as they were held to only 17 points by Eastside. But it was enough, as the Patriots prevailed 17-13.
The semifinals in Rugby Washington kick off Saturday and it’s hard to imagine any team other than Liberty winning it all … unless you’re Budd Bay.
The Rugby Washington playoff matchups are set after the final weekend of play.
The Rugby Washington select-side program has named its Loggers select squad to compete in regional all-star tournaments this spring.
The list includes seven players who were at the USA HS All American camp or played for the All Americans in recent months: Will Brennan, Finlay Bruce, Alfonso Cornu-Labat, Derise Fuga, Tristan Ingold, Brian Nault, and Kyle Saalfeld.
