Weekend Update - Buffalo 7's & Ellensburg

The 15's season officially came to an end this weekend, with the Barbarians wrapping up the season with a tournament east of the mountains for the Cascade Classic in Ellensburg, WA. The boys had a stellar weekend, winning two matches on Saturday against Yakima and Montana before losing to another side from Montana on Sunday. Coach Quirke reported that the boys had a wonderful experience and all matches were played with intensity, few errors and with honor to the game, opponents and officials. Great work Barbarians.

The Buffaloes kicked off the summer 7's season this weekend at ORSU in Portland. A big thank you goes out to Matt Beagle, Alex Q, Mike Radasa and "new" Joel for stepping up and playing hard. The Buffaloes picked up four players from Butte Montana to balance out the numbers. The first match was lost to ORSU 41-0. Next, the Buffaloes took on Valley and lost a real close one 22-17. The last match was against the Missoula Maggots, aka The Sickness, who played hard but fell to Budd Bay! It was such a match that no one remembers the final score, but the Buffaloes did walk away the winners. Way to represent Buffaloes!
