GRR: Gamebreakers
Some of the big standouts from DIA and DIAA games this past weekend.
For some reason, No. 8 had more standouts than usual.
Some impressive performances from players all over the DII spectrum get some recognition from GRR.
Gamebreakers for the weekend of September 21.
Levi Van Lanen, UW Whitewater
The Warhawks have a fairly young backline but the experienced and talented Van Lanen has them working nicely together, and he sparked a 57-17 defeat of Minnesota-Duluth.
Here's a look at the HS Boys rugby players who made an impact over the last couple of weeks.
Steve Rohde, St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.)
The St. Thomas Aquinas No. 8 was a powerful presence offensively and defensively when Aquinas beat rivals KC Jr. Blues, and also in a good showing at the Jesuit Classic.
We have two weeks of action for our latest Gamebreakers. Here's who impressed:
Nathaniel Turak, Rochambeau Roosters
Turak's goalkicking was the difference, as his team and the Maryland Exiles scored six tries each. By converting five of six tries, Turak helped the Roosters to a 40-34 victory.
With teams active all over the country, we've got plenty of candidates for standout players for the week. Here's our latest list:
