GRR: Awards
We use the term Gamebreaker to mean a rugby player who has made an impact, but it seems especially relevant when we talk about Jihad Khabir.
In a game that was very close between New England College and American International College, Khabir scored two brilliant tries to blow open the game and ensure a win for AIC.
West Point flyhalf Jon Kim set a program record with seven conversions in Army’s 49-3 defeat of Stony Brook.
However, Kim’s kicking wasn’t the only thing that impressed. The convert from the Army football team (where he was the kicker) showed good all-around skills and ran the West Point offense smartly in the opening victory.
Penn State No. 8 Chris Burian scored three tries for the Nittany Lions last week in a 32-10 defeat of Queens University in Canada.
Head Coach Blake Burdette was very enthused with the Doylestown (Pa.) HS product.
The Ramblin' Jesters touring team is now sponsoring a Young 7s Player of the Month for Goff Rugby Report, and the first award-winner is a player many will recognize.
It's time to finish recognizing the thrilling 2015-16 Boys HS rugby season.
