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.
The local teams seem to have held sway at the GARHS Day One.
The tournament, held in Owyhee, Idaho, welcomes teams from Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona as well as five Idaho sides.

A new, potentially national-level girls HS 7s tournament is set to be held in Idaho this weekend.
The GARHS 7s will feature 12 teams, five of which are from the host state, but with seven from various states around the West.
The 3rd Annual Urban Rugby Championship will be held in 2024 in Washington DC from March 5-9.
Qualifying programs from across the country will gather in the name of equity, access, and opportunity through rugby.
