HARC Men bring back hardware from Lonestar 7s
The HARC Men brought back the Bowl from Lonestart 7s to kick off the 2010 7s season.
This a roster including six players new to HARC the boys ran out to an overall record of 4-1-1.
The number two seed in their pool HARC faced Quins 2, Austin HS Alumni then Shreveport. The first two games were convincing wins to the boys in blue however at half time against Shreveport they found themselves down three tries. Undeterred the team came back and scored a try on the final play of the game to even the score at 26. Steve Hill’s kick would sail just right of the posts and the game ended in a draw.
Because of the one tie HARC was seeded 6th going into the knock-out rounds of the tourney and drew the Black Lions (some of whom were 15s teammates). After a short between match break the game kicked off. The first half was marked by largely even play marked but effective use a pace by the Lions and dogged defensive determination by HARC. In the second half HARCs shortage on fitness and 7s experience showed when the Lions were able to score several unanswered tries. A couple of HARC substitutions leveled out the play however HARC was unable to get back in the game.
Knocked out of the Cup competition HARC was to face Shreveport again in the Bowl semi-finals however the opposition had had enough for the day so HARC won by forfeit. In the Bowl HARC took on Southside (Tulsa) who’d just beaten Little Rock to advance. In what was a close game HARC eventually emerged victorious thus earning their first trophy of the year.
HARC Roster:
Steve, Conor, Jeff, Dan, Jonny, Brandon, Dustin, Miguel, Blake, Danny, Edmond & Dax
