New rugby league forms

Do you like football? How about soccer? If so, then the new rugby league may be for you. There will be an informational meeting held in the large group instruction room from 2:45-3:45 p.m. this Thursday. The league is open to all high school students.

“I’m confident that this (rugby league) will not be a one year deal,” league representative for the school and teacher Tom Foley said.

The rugby program is through the organization MYRA (Michigan Youth Rugby Association). Our school will be competing in division two against schools such as Kenowa Hills, West Ottawa, Kalamazoo and more. Students are excited about the new league.

“I am very interested in joining the rugby league,” junior Aaron Cummings said. “I’m very excited to see how it’s all going to turn out.”

Brianna Moynihan, Sports editor
Senior Sports Editor Brianna Moynihan, loves sports. This is her third year on staff and second year as Sports Editor. You can often find Brianna in the bleachers at any Buccaneer sporting event or competing in a number of her own athletic activities. She is a firm believer that sports are the core foundation of our society. Her list of achievements include 5 statewide Michigan Interscholastic Press Association awards, captain of the JV tennis team, head statistician for the wrestling team, a 96 percent on the 12 page AP Lang research paper, the press award at Michigan’s Girls State, and was chosen as Michigan’s Girls Nation representative. She also shook hands with President Obama. But Brianna claims her greatest achievement was beating Luke Blauvelt in a game of PIG. In the near future you will probably see Brianna on the sidelines reporting on professional sports, hopefully interviewing Eli Manning.
