Three Teams Confirmed for Inaugural Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase

Unionville High School (Unionville, PA), East Mecklenburg High School (Charlotte, NC), and the Derwood Stags (from Magruder High School in Rockville, MD) have all confirmed their participation in the inaugural Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase. The event will take place the weekend of March 1-2, 2008 at Wake Forest University. We are hoping that the 4th team will be St. John's Prep from Boston, MA, the alma mater of current Wake players Matt Storck and Christian Jewett. However, administrative issues are holding up their confirmation.

The purpose of this event is to give some northern-based high school teams the opportunity to play some preseason rugby away from the snow, while also showcasing Wake Forest University and its rugby program to interested high school students.

The Wake Forest men's rugby team will play an exhibition match on March 1 against an opponent to be determined.
