The very first Aggie Sevens Tournament was played at the Penberthy Rec Sports Complex on Saturday, Sept. 10. The tournament featured teams from TAMU, UT, University of Oklahoma, Baylor University, and Sam Houston State. The Aggies entered four teams in the competition - varsity, varsity II, junior varsity, and a developmental side.
The varsity side played extremely well after only a week of practice and managed to play their way into the championship game before losing to OU 20-7. The Aggies had defeated the Sooners 21-0 in the opening game of the tournament, but did not have enough left in the tank in the championship game.
All the A&M teams played a physical style throughout the day and it was a great learning experience for the large number of new players on the Aggie's squad. Director of Rugby Craig Coates did an excellent job of organizing the tournament and making it a enjoyable day for everyone.
