In the Fall of 2004, several Coaches got together and set forth a plan to implement High School Rugby in the state of Georgia. This plan was based off a Graduate Thesis called "The Bryant Model" that outlined how to start High School Rugby and took into account the resistance of Athletic Directors and Football Coaches.On March 4, 2005, the first Georgia High School Rugby Association match was played in rainy conditions at Noonday Park in Kennesaw between the Oconee County High School Rugby Football Club and the Trojans Rugby Football Club (Lassiter High School). By the end of the first season of the Georgia High School Rugby Association (the governing Union for Georgia High School Rugby), the state had four Clubs which included the Oconee County High School Rugby Football Club, the Trojan Rugby Football Club (Lassiter High School), the Greyhound Rugby Football Club (Pope High School), and the Augusta U-19 Rugby Football Club (did not compete against any GHSRA Clubs). The first GHSRA State Championship was won by the Lassiter (Trojans) High School RFC.In it's second season (Spring of 2006), the GHSRA went to two Divisions due to an increase in Clubs. The North Georgia Division was home to the Oconee County High School Rugby Football Club, the Grayson High School Rugby Football Club, and the Alpharetta Rugby Football Club (Milton, Chattahoochee and Centennial High Schools). The Cobb County Division was home to the Trojans Rugby Football Club (Lassiter High School), the Greyhound Rugby Football Club (Pope High School), the Sequoyah High School Rugby Football Club and the Campbell High School Rugby Football Club. During the Spring, the first Girl's High School Club was formed and named the Oconee County High School Girl's Rugby Football Club. Later that Spring, Girl's Clubs formed at Sequoyah High School and Campbell High School. The 2006 GHSRA Boy's State Championship was won by the Pope (Greyhound) High School RFC and the Girl's State Championship was won by the Oconee County High School Girl's RFC.In the Spring of 2007, the GHSRA kicked off its third season. We had grown into three Divisions, including a High School Girl's Division. The North Georgia Division included the Oconee County High School RFC, the Sequoyah High School RFC, the Grayson (Gwinnett Griffins) High School RFC, the Alpharetta (Phoenix-United) RFC, and the Parkview (Panther) High School RFC. The Cobb Division included the Lassiter (Trojans) High School RFC, the Pope (Greyhound) High School RFC, the Campbell High School RFC, the Kennesaw Mountain High School RFC, and the Walton High School RFC. The 2007 GHSRA Boy's State Championship was won by the Lassiter (Trojans) High School RFC and the Girl's State Championship was won by the Oconee County High School Girl's RFC.In the Spring of 2008, the GHSRA fielded 20 Clubs in five Divisions. The Augusta Division consisted of the Richmond Academy High School RFC, the Lakeside High School RFC, the Evans High School RFC, and the Greenbrier High School RFC. The Northeast Gerorgia Division was made up of the Oconee County High School RFC, the Grayson (Gwinnett Griffins) High School RFC, the Parkview (Panther) High School RFC, the Winder-Barrow High School RFC. The Alpharetta Division had the Sequoyah High School RFC, the Milton (formerly Alpharetta Phoenix-United) High School RFC, the Brookwood High School RFC, and the Kennesaw Mountain High School RFC. The Cobb Division consited of the Lassiter (Trojans)  High School RFC, the Pope (Greyhound) High School RFC, the Campbell High School RFC, the Walton High School RFC, and the Wheeler High School RFC. The South Atlanta Division was made up of the Starr's Mill High School RFC, the Columbus High School RFC, and the Northside High School RFC. The Girl's Division had grown to four teams that included the Oconee County High School Girl's RFC, the Sequoyah High School Girl's RFC, the Campbell High School Girl's RFC, and the Kennesaw Mountain High School Girl's RFC.The sport continues to grow every year. Our mission is to advance the sport of rugby through the coaching of high school kids and the character training that goes hand in hand with the sport that we love.
