Warren County got its first taste of rugby last year and the reaction was very impressive to say the least in the school’s first attempt at the physical and aggressive sport. Rugby was completely funded by donations made to teachers, students, and its organizers.Since last season, former head coach Bryan Kelsey left the McMinnville area to pursue other interests and fulfill his life-long dreams.The Lady Pioneer rugby team will be led this season by George Smartt. He will be assisted by Paige Lance, Lauren Judkins, and Mason Simpson.
