Remember last week at the Homecoming parade? Well every year we see the
Men's Rugby team go through and they toss the ball out to the crowd and
have the kids throw it back. This year they had a WOMENS Rugby team in
the parade! I couldn't believe it! I instantly called Shayne and told
her. On Monday we got a hold of our friend Cole Challet, who is on the
men's team and asked him about it. He said that they practice Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 7pm and that Shayne should just go over there and talk
to the girls. He said that they are always looking for new players.
So on Tuesday Shayne had institute that gets over right at 7 so she went
over there to talk to someone and stayed for a 2 hour practice! She is
in LOVE! They had a game on SATURDAY! We were all stoked until we
found out that it was at 11:00. And for us to see Joel cross the finish
line at the marathon he'd have to have a new PR. Well, that wasn't
going to happen this year because he had gotten really sick about a
month ago that lasted a good 3 weeks and hadn't been able to train
properly. So I told him that I loved him but this year Shayne was more
important. Shayne was struggling with school, work, guys, missing OZ
and life in general and this rugby team was one of God's tender
mercies. She needed it so badly right now and I wasn't about to miss
it. By the time the game had started, only John and Charles had finished the marathon. Brian and Joel were walking.
This first picture is pre-game warm ups of their scrum with the coaches. Shayne is playing Lock position. It's the same position Charles played in college so he was super happy to come watch her and give her some tips.
Pre-game prayer and then they were ready to kick some SUU butt!
Warrior face!
Half time.
My favorite picture!
