Midwest Championships 2011

"Back on Track" is the 2011 season motto choosen this season in February by Coach Bart. And it seems spot on after the efforts of the weekend and winning the 2011 Midwest Championship. Leading to the Midwest the team had played some solid rugby at times. They had also had a few letdowns just two weeks prior losing to LaSalette & Cathedral both in the last play of the games. Penn bounced back beating a good Brownsburg team and scrappy North Central team the week prior to the tournament. With the most league points, we earned the Indiana #1 seed and thus the Midwest School bracket #1 seed.

The team prepared well leading to the event- in game one they had little issue with Dexter of Michigan winning 52-5 and using 6 subs. Game two was as expected and a re-match of LaSalette. Penn respects LaSalette a great deal but needed to show that the game two weeks prior was a let down for us. This time the score was close but frankly the game never seemed in question 17-7. The championship game was a rematch of last years championship as well as a league rematch from 8 days prior. Penn scored in the first 5 minutes when sr Versharw Burke took the corner with his fully torn ACL and went 40 yards for the opening score. 10 minutes later jr Dylan Heyvaert powered 30 yards and over Brownsburg defenders to score the second try for Penn. Just when it seemed Penn may run away with it, Brownsburg came back to set the tempo for the middle 20 minutes of the game and added a converted try. O'Donnell hit a late penalty for Penn to add to his 2 conversions. Penn defended the Brownsburg attack very well at times and in the end it was 17-7 Penn..... Back on Track with another Midwest Title.
