HURT ADVANCES TO NATIONAL 16’s BUT FALLS IN RRRC CHAMPIONSHIP
RRRC SEMI-FINALS: HURT 25, Dallas Reds 13
RRRC CHAMPIONSHIP: HURT 25, Little Rock Stormers 43
After defeating the Dallas Red in the Red River Rugby Conference Semi-finals, HURT battled Little Rock for the Championship. Unfortunately, HURT’s pursuit for a conference championship fell short. This loss was a tough one to swallow. However, HURT should be proud of being a top 16 D2 club in the nation, an undefeated regular-season and a 4th consecutive South Division title. The 2015-16 season is one to remember.
Good luck to the Little Rock Stormers as they continue on to the national championships.

HENCHMEN LOSE IN SEMI-FINALS
RRRC SEMI-FINALS: Henchmen 5, Austin Blacks 45
The Henchmen suffer their first loss to an experienced and disciplined Austin Blacks (D3) in the RRRC semi-finals in Austin, TX. Although the year did not end the way the Henchmen wanted, going undefeated and winning the South Division title in the team’s inaugural season is something to be tremendously proud of. If the Henchmen can accomplish all those things in its first year, imagine what the team can do in the years to come. Great season, Henchmen!
