GRR: Okapi Wanderers
OK so what to make of the Florida high school season.
Preseason games seemed to vault some teams into the mix, and then when the league stared, there was trouble.
Defending champs Jacksonville started off shakily with a preseason loss to Georgia’s Phoenix Alpharetta, but then has gone from strength to strength.
One of the exciting things to see in a young rugby player is initiative - when a player doesn't wait for his chance, but takes it.
That is Tomas Gallo.
The former Okapi Wanderers player, who played in the All American system, is still searching for opportunities.
The South RCT is set to kick off Friday evening.
With limited field space at Life University, the tournament has to cover three days, and that offers some options for teams who might struggle with depth.
In a result that was something of a surprise, given previous meetings between the two teams, St. Thomas Aquinas of Florida beat the Okapi Wanderers 27-18 to win the Florida Youth Rugby Boys HS state championship Saturday.
The Florida state High School final will be a rematch of the South Florida regional final, as both the Okapi Wanderers and St. Thomas Aquinas teams won semis on Saturday.
