Hey Spartans family, we have a special request as we wrap up our 15s season. One of our players, Eric Camacho, is a hard-working father of three who suffered a severe leg injury earlier this month, impacting his ability to work. We've set up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds to support his family in their time of need by covering some medical bills.

Our players and officers have already pooled about half of the funds needed to reach our target, but we need your help getting the ball over the line. Contributions in any amount are appreciated, but we'd also love your help in sharing our campaign.

Together, let's get Macho back on his feet - thanks in advance!

Final score: 38–38

A back-and-forth battle with our rivals that had everything — physicality, intensity, and big moments on both sides. The boys kept fighting and showed a lot of heart to close out the season.

Forward of the Match: Connor Bradley
Back of the Match: Joey McLane

Try Scorers: Dee Brown, Michael Cunningham, Connor Bradley, Bryson Braswell, Asher Jones
Conversions: Joey McLane (3/4. Penalty kick)

Huge thank you to everyone who supported us all season — on the sidelines and behind the scenes. It means a lot 🙌

That wraps up our 2025/2026 season. We’ll take a little time to reset, then it’s on to summer 7’s 🔥

Final score: 7–9.

A brutally physical semifinal that came down to the smallest margins. The boys left everything out there, big carries, relentless defense, and a full 80-minute battle. Holding the reigning champs without a try shows the fight in this group, but we came up just two points short.
