This week in sports: Rugby works on rebounding

I have an update on the ARHS spring season. And this time around, it includes information on the varsity Rugby teams.

As many of you know, the Girls Rugby team was involved in a bus crash earlier this season, resulting in injuries to several players. One of the team’s coaches, Laurie Bourdon, informed me:

Since we had our bus accident back in April, we have slowly started to have most of the players back on the field and get back into the game. . .

Our captains are doing a great job helping the team recover from the bus accident and keep it positive.

The Girls won their first two in-season games, one of which was post-accident. Still, Bourdon expects this week’s match up against Essex to be a tough one.

Boys Rugby is in its first varsity season after four years as a club team. They started off with a big win, followed by two losses. They’ll hope to get back on track this Wednesday.

Both teams would love to have support on the sidelines at this week’s home games. (Scroll down for the schedule.)

In other sports, Boys Tennis still remains undefeated. And teams with winning seasons still include: Boys Lacrosse (undefeated within its league), Girls Tennis, Baseball, and Boys Volleyball.

Now, here are the ARHS varsity games on tap for the week.
