GRR: Brunswick
The Brunswick Valkyries came back twice to beat St. Joseph's Academy to win the Rugby Ohio girls state championship.
In a game that saw plenty of momentum shifts, Brunswick adjusted their normal pattern of play to handle what the Jaguars threw at them.
Rugby Ohio caps off its season in two venues this weekend with four boys finals and a girls championship.
A big second half saw Brunswick win the Ohio Girls High School State Club Championship at Fortess Obetz Saturday as the Valkyries pulled away from the Perrysburg Yellow Jackets 39-19.
The Medina Bees worked their way through a very difficult Rugby Ohio girls 7s championships to take the state title.
On a wet day that got wetter and muddier by the game, Medina was paced by the elusive Hannah Trsek and the powerful Libby Kelly and Rachel Coleman.
St. Ignatius is now at 9-0 after a 3-0 day at the Northern bracket of Rugby Ohio’s fall HS 7s.
The Wildcats beat Highland 25-7 and St. Edward B 48-7 before having to take on their own B side, a game they won 30-0.
"I think our defense really showed," said Aidan Miczak. "We didn’t let mistakes get into our head."
