GRR: Tampa Krewe
It's only week #2 in Florida's HS season and we're getting a sense of who might be pushing for a state title.
The Tampa Krewe made something of a statement in Florida Youth Rugby action with a convincing 33-3 win over Orlando.
Tampa is now 6-0.
Fullback Nice Heikkinen was player of the game for Tampa, while senior and captain Stephen Walters was excellent on his goalkicking and led from the front.
Florida’s HS season has run into some issues as the attempt to divvy up teams into districts has run afoul of the lack of depth in some teams.
The Florida Youth Rugby season gets a soft start with the extensive Florida Winter Festival this coming weekend in Orlando.
The Festival itself will feature teams in seven brackets from Men’s and Women’s adult teams to Under 10s.
Orlando nabbed the Florida Youth Rugby with a 23-21 victory over the Tampa Krewe.
This was a rematch of a game on April 9 that ended in a 12-12 tie.
