The Liberty Patriots produced something of a statement game Saturday as they defeated 1-0 Kent 50-12 in Rugby Washington league play.

St. Thomas Aquinas is following up their trip to the Lindenwood HS tournament with a two-game visit to two of the stronger teams in Colorado.
Aquinas faces Regis Jesuit on Saturday, followed by East HS on Sunday.
“We have a good relationship with Aquinas,” said East HS Head Coach Bill Baer. “We visited them last year, and it’s important to play outside of your region.”
Rugby Colorado’s league season may be getting off to a snowy start - when does it not? - but it’s a start with many implications, as the Littleton Eagle take on perennial state champs Colorado Springs.
