Rugby has a habit of injecting some humility into life and certainly Ahwatukee got a dose of it a week after a big win.
In an eagerly anticipated match up of the two Georgia-based MSIRL teams, Alpharetta Phoenix faced off against current Georgia state champions East Cobb Trojans at Life University on Saturday.
St. Pius X has made a bit of statement in Rugby Texas with two big wins in as many weeks.
After beating Kingwood 60-0 a week ago, St. Pius shut out a solid St. Thomas team 10-0. In a tense, defensive-minded, and not always perfect game, Pius put the pressure on St. Thomas for much of the game and got two scores - which was enough.
