Utah Warrior Rugby!!!

Friday 5-11-18    Sophie is going to LOVE these guys.  She'll want to get season tickets.  They are so much fun to watch.  I wish we lived closer because then we would come up to more games.  As we were walking in we saw one of our friends, George Manu, walking in with a badge on.  We hurried and grabbed him, gave him a hug and found out that he is the team's photographer.  So cool!  I would love that job!  Snow Canyon's Varsity Team was there sitting together.  It was great to see them.  They had just won their game and was headed on to the state final game the next day just like us.  The JV team had lost to Herriman and was out.  So, both the 7/8th grade team and Varsity had to play against Herriman in the finals for the State Title against Herriman and for some strange reason they scheduled the games to be played at Herriman, with Herriman refs.  Interesting.  Anyway, the WARRIORS were awesome.  They killed the Austin Texas team.  Here are some picture's I took with my phone.  They played in their own arena this time.  The first time we went it was in the Real Salt Lake Soccer stadium.  Because this one wasn't finished.  But it is now and looks great!  It rained the entire time but half of the time it was more like a mist so it wasn't bad. 
 Our friend George!
 The Snow Canyon Team!
 Jared Whippy was taken down with a leg injury right before the game ended.  His twin brother Josh was taken out with the same injury in the beginning of the season.  It was heart breaking to watch.  Jared had made the first try of the game tonight and is an amazing player.  We wish him and his brother a speedy recovery and the team a great rest of the season!
