Head Coach Ray Bezjak will return as coach. “Our growth in the number of players and with our experience we will be competitive in every game we play this year,” he said.
The Warhounds have added seven new members to the roster to compliment the returning ruggers.
The team has been invited to compete in the Division II, West of Pennsylvania High School Rugby League. Along with league play they will be hosting several in-state tournaments.
The tournaments will help showcase their talents for friends and family and introduce the sport of rugby to the greater North Central West Virginia community.
