Preslee Mayer Rugby season underway /Justin Krziyzik & Judd Desjardine If you've been readjng the sports pages, you'll know that South Huron's rugby season is underway. But what is rugby? A rugby team consists of fifteen players on the field, eight forwards and seven backs. The forward's jobs are to ruck, mall, line-out and to scrum down. The backs are the ones who do most of the running of the ball. They also help the forwards if necessary. When a learn scores, it is called a try. To score a try, you must run .into the end zone and place the ball on the ground. This is worth five points. A conversion is a field goal and it is worth two points. Senior girls' player Carrie Iltman says, "Rugby is a game that uses many skills, so the best teams will have a variety of athletes who excel in different areas." So far this season, the senior boys have a record of two wins and no losses in Huron -Perth play, and three losses in exhibition play. The girls have started their season with a tie against St. Marys, and a loss against Madill. This year, South Huron was fortunate enough to add a third team to the program this year: the midget boys. They lost their first game, but a good effort was put forth by all players.
