Members of Crusader Rugby, their coaches, and their parents gathered this week in the Brother Mark Thornton Terrace to celebrate another great season. Coach Gary Giepert ’80 and Coach Lester Duhe recognized all players and then presented awards for most improved players as well as most valuable players in specific positions. Mr. and Mrs. DeBrueys and their daughters and grandchildren presented the James DeBrueys Memorial Award to those players who have been active participants since eighth grade. This award acknowledges their commitment over time to the rugby program in honor of James DeBrueys ’06 who was a member of Brother Martin’s inaugural rugby team and one its first five-year players. DeBrueys award recipients are Matthew Hood, Matthew Reineke, Seamus O’Connor, Ben Hailey, Connor Glennon, and Mitchell Maurin. The rugby team is looking for a “few good men” from grades 8 through 12 for next year’s team!
