Hough Huskies won their 4th North Carolina boys fall 7s this past weekend, defeating a very tough Marvin Ridge in the final.

Max Colson, Patrick Kuebler, and Andrew Brown all scored tries for Hough.
But that wasn’t all.

Registration is open for the Gonzaga Rugby Classic, which will be held April 12-13, 2025.
This tournament is one of the shining tournament lights on the high school calendar. Remember last year when the final between Gonzaga and Charlotte Cardinals was decided right at the end ... and both of those teams went on to win their respective national championships.
