OKC culminated a successful season with a Texas Division III Championship this past weekend at Lake Highland Park in Dallas. Though the club earned semifinal berths in its first three seasons, it had never taken home the hardware. Strong numbers traveling and excellent commitment from players combined to give the Crusaders the first championship in the 4 year history of the club.
In game one on Saturday OKC faced an outmanned Galveston squad playing on short notice after the disqualification of original number 4 seed Katy Lions. OKC used excellent passing and open field play to rip Galveston by a count of 79-5.
The Sunday final saw a challenge from number 2 seed Alamo City. Both clubs entered the weekend with a 9-1 regular season record. Alamo City bested reigning champions the Austin Blacks in a bruising kick fest on Saturday. Sunday brought rain and winds, making for difficult conditions which neutralized OKC’s advantage in speed and handling. OKC jumped on Alamo City early and lead at one point 27-7. A loss of composure caused OKC to play 35 minutes of the second half a man down, and for quite some time 2 men down. Alamo City showed great character by scrapping their way back from the deficit to challenge for the win. Two missed penalty attempts from in front of the posts cost the boys from San Antonio. They eventually scored a try at the death to bring the score within three.
Both teams played hard fought rugby in tough conditions with Crusaders scrum half Kyle Lubbers walking away with tourney MVP honors. The teams look to perform well in the upcoming Westerns competition in Omaha, NE where OKC enters as the number 2 overall seed and Alamo City comes in as the number 3. |
