It is a new start for the JV girls’ rugby this year. Ms. Myers said that “rugby tryouts have been the largest turnout in three years. It’s a mixture of veterans and a lot of new people.” This year’s girls’ rugby team was described as “fun and enthusiastic” by Ms. Myers. Mr. Greg Israel, high school economics teacher, is the second coach for the girls’ JV rugby team.
