VC Rugby Weathers Storms, Plays Stubborn Defense
By Steven Giordano

The VC Rugby club is nearing the close of their 2006 regular season of the under 19’s Skyhawk Conference.
On March 4, the Warriors took on Live Oak on the Valley Christian football field. Their Morgan Hill adversaries, the Acorns, were no match for the Warriors. Valley stubbornly defended their try-zone as they shut down the Acorns’ advancements. The final score was Valley Christian 10, Live Oak 0.
The team has been forced to play through much conflict. From date changes, field changes, and weather conditions, this team has come together. But nothing could have been more incredible than the game versus the Lions of Los Altos. The temperature at the start of the game was well into the forties and the field was soaked from the previous night’s rain. With the turf fields at Valley, is was like falling and being driven into slushy ice. The teams traded scores in the first half. The crowd’s biggest cheers however came in response to Andrew Decker’s big hit to the Lions’ ball carrier at midfield.
Despite the great effort, the Warriors fell 21-12 to Los Altos. The “Men of the Match” were Chad Greer and Mason Serber for their aggressive and outstanding performances. Boris Taratutin and Ryan McNulty were the scorers for Valley who both scored their first tries, which means they had to then shoot the boot. In case one missed last issue, this rugby tradition calls for first time scorers to drink out of the worst shoe on the team.
Saturday March 18 brought East Palo Alto to the skyway campus. While the Warriors put up a fight, it was not their day as they were defeated 64-0.
The final regular season game is scheduled for tomorrow versus College Park, or rather the Bells of Bellarmine.
