 Competitive Teams at Superclubs

The AR Rush sent 8 of our 10 competitive teams to Superclubs in Memphis, TN September 20-21.  Going into Sunday's games, the AR Rush had the opportunity of placing 5 of the 8 teams into championship matches: BU12 Academy, BU13 Academy, BU14 Academy, GU13 Academy and GU17 Nike.  When the last whistle blew on the day, AR Rush came away with two championships; GU13 Academy and BU14 Academy and one finalist; BU13 Academy.  Over the weekend, the Rush complied a 13-13-2 record.  The coaching staff is very proud of what each team and each player accomplished over the weekend.
