                                                                            The Scrum
           I can not manage to ever forget this day. It was freezing, raining/snowing and muddy. Of all the unforgettable moments through my past seasons, this day of games was my favorite. We came together as a team and decided the rain was more fun to play in. Going back I would get rid of the freezing temperature, but altogether it was a fantastic day of camaraderie. So far this season, we have been practicing in a foot or more of snow, which is not ideal by any means, but I can tell you that we are going to be ridiculously fast when it melts. Rush has only been practicing for about a week now, but already I have seen so much talent, leadership and good people that I am proud to call my brothers.

        About six years ago, I discovered the sport of Rugby through one of my good friends. At the time, I was too young to play on the team and was only able to watch the games. From the first time I witnessed the sport I was addicted. It fascinated me and made me want to get involved. Two years went by and I was a freshman and was able to participate in the sport that had completely consumed my mind. Since I had never actually played before, Rugby was very new still. It wasn't until the first game that I had played in that I knew that this was meant for me. As the years progressed I rose higher in skill and strength. I was more aware on the field, and I made life long friends that I still keep in touch with to this day. This, my Senior season, is marked with obstacles. These obstacles range from finding new players, to finding somewhere to put a pitch.

As a team, Rush Rugby can overcome anything. I hope you stay up on this exciting season as we train and prepare to dominate on and off the field.
