Mongrels Rugby heads to playoffs

Mongrel Rugby on the offensive in a recent match.

Rugby continues to gain speed in Mountain Home. This season is the fourth year the program has been available to the youth of the community. Some of this year's departing seniors have been around since the very first game the team played.

While that might leave the players and Coach Hugh Stephens feeling a little melancholy theteam has much to be excited about with a playoff berth clinched.

On May fourth the team will travel east to take on Burley in the semifinals where they will play for a chance to reach the State Championships, which is scheduled to take place at Legacy Park on May 11 this year.
