Erich Schmidt of Rivers began playing the sport of rugby only last year, at age 14. Because Rivers does not have its own team, the soon-to-be Grade 11 student at Rivers Collegiate travels to Forrest to play with Elton Collegiate. In his first season, not only did he join the Elton squad, but he also tried out, and was accepted, for the Westman Rush 7s team; Elton encompasses more athletes so the school team plays the 15-person sport. This year he was once again part of Elton Sabres and Westman Rush.
Ahead of the pack
