Wake Forest Rugger Makes Select Side

Wake Forest prop Kenton Forte, a rising sophomore, was selected to the North Carolina U-19 team this past weekend. Forte, who only began playing rugby last September, worked his way into the Wake first side by mid-spring and was voted the team's most improved player by his teammates for the '06-'07 season. This makes the second consecutive year that a Wake prop has been selected to this side, as current club president Matt Gottbrecht made the team last year. The Carolina U-19s will travel to Baltimore later this month to take part in the U-19 Challenge Cup against other LAU select sides. Also participating in the Challenge Cup will be David Walsh, a Wake recruit who is currently waiting to hear if he has been let in off the admissions waiting list. Walsh, from Staples, CT, is the starting flyhalf for the Met-NY U-19 select side.
