Old Boys High School Rugby with Mr. Monks

It is great to see our Old Boys playing Rugby at their various high schools these days. Our beloved Mr. Larry Monks joined several at a Strake Jesuit vs. Lamar High School match recently. Pictured, surrounding Larry, are Pablo Granados (’17), Christopher Hoekel (’17), a masked JJ Furnace (’17), Nicholas Ballew (’17) and Jacob Dodson (’18). Great to see these young men flying the Green Jay Rugby flag way up high at their schools. Well done, boys!

Appearing below are Pablo Granados and Chris Hoekel. The Rugby Report had this to say about these two Western Old Boys after the match . . . Senior locks Pablo Granados and Chris Hoekel led from the front with Granados a key ground-gainer with the ball and Hoekel consistently strong in clearing out at the rucks.
