After a successful season starting at the beginning of school, girl’s rugby is wrapping up at state on Saturday. After the win at Tuesday’s game, the team is ranked 3 out of 8 teams, which means Southeast Polk will play whatever team is ranked sixth and continue from there depending on how they play. Last year was the first year the team didn't win state and placed second behind Ankeny.
            “My goals for state are probably to come out as best as we can,” said sophomore JV player Hannah Waskel. “Obviously winning is good, but I think it’s more important to come out happy with how we played and finish the season on a good note. I want this to be a great finish for all the seniors and hopefully make our coaches proud,” Waskel said.
            Waskel plans to play again next year, and is disappointed with the coming end of the season, which means the end of a great experience with great people.

            “I'm going to miss coming to practice each day and I'm going to miss how everyone on the team gets along and I’m really going to miss the seniors that are leaving. They’re all so funny and gave me so many pointers this year that are going to help me improve, and I couldn't have asked for a better first year of playing rugby,” said Waskel. “I can't wait until next year.”
