Great high school tournament in St George, Utah

Skyline, Lowland, Springville, Mesa, United, Snow Canyon HS, Dixie and Hurricane fielded teams for 2 days of pre season rugby in sunny St George. This annual event is growing.

The highlight for me was watching the mixed team match between United and Springville. Players from both teams exchanged jerseys to create two evenly matched teams. It was a very competitive game and I don't believe anyone kept score. Players from both teams on each side.

I don't believe I have ever seen young men have so much fun. It was a thrill to watch.

The generally newer and less experienced players from Springville had a blast playing side by side with the more experienced United players. This was about having fun, learning and building the brotherhood of rugby.

Hats off to both coaches the players and the organizers of the tournament.We need much much more of this.
