Herriman Gold moved to 18-0 in the Utah Youth Rugby Boys HS 7s.
Herriman won the 3rd leg of the series, defeating United in the final, led by an excellent tournament from Ethan Burrows and some excellent defense from John Thompson.
The Red team for Herriman won the Bowl begind the play of Kason Kalma, while the Herriman JV team took the JV Cup with a 5-0 day.
University of Utah freshman Kelsin Pupunu (Judge Memorial HS/Kau Toa RFC) is looking to make his mark for the University of Utah 15s and 7s program this year as the PAC Conference 7s loom.
At 6-0, 190, Pupunu, a true freshman, was the top high school rugby prospect in Utah and has already shown that he can run with the upperclassmen during the fall schedule.
