Spring 2014

Players, Parents and Coaches, We are still basking in the glow of winning our first Boys High School Rugby National Championship. The joy in the eyes of the players, coaches, parents and alums was such a thrill and it reconnected us with so very many supporters of our program. It has been an extraordinary journey that Gonzaga rugby has taken us on. This year’s historic accomplishment was a seed planted in 1988 by that first group of players that started the program. We were honored to have several of that team and their coach attend our yearend banquet. That year and every year since then has contributed to the DNA that is Gonzaga Rugby. Our players, parents and coaches past and present all share in this championship and set the bar at its highest for our future players. While it brings me great pleasure to hear the words “National Champions” Gonzaga Rugby is so much more than that. Each year when I write this letter I am extremely proud of our program and all involved in it. I mention the Big Giant Purple Heart (BGPH) which means so many things to me. It means being a member of the Band of Brothers. It means opportunity that any student at Gonzaga can be a part of a team and play in games. It means teaching a game and values to our players that our coaches do as well as any staff in the country. It means commitment from our players to do the best they can in trying to achieve a goal regardless of what team they are on. It means the support and great friendships from our parents during their time in our program and as alums. It means a school that gives us the resources to make Gonzaga Rugby a memorable experience for all. There is a very important X-Factor which I struggle to put my finger on but I think its love. Love is the greatest gift that we give and get from our program. This crazy game which has brought us all together has given us an outlet to show and share our love for each other. It’s what allows us to accomplish great things of which our championship is just one of many. We experience the character, passion, skill, courage, caring for each other and all the things necessary to play this great game. It’s not the game that makes it special it’s the Men for Others that play it and the parents that made them Men for Others. Thank you’s to all players and parents. Thanks for making this a magical year. National Champions, MAVRC Champions, Jesuit Rugby Classic Champions, 200 players, 6 teams(3 varsity, purple 16-0-1, white 7-5-1 & black 10-1, 2 JV purple 9-1 & White 5-6-1 and freshman 7-9, tour to Italy 150 strong including 76 players, games in Charlotte & Philly, hosting Wimbledon College from England and most importantly 46 new freshman rugby players. Special thanks to our coaches: Peter (who took us to the mountaintop), Paolo (the man in the engine room), Grant and Jimmy (a couple of GQ guys who gave the backs some flash), Chas (poet laureate of the Rag Tag Army), Arno (soft spoken taskmaster), Pat (semper fi in madras pants), Paul (transportation specialist), Joe (lobbyist for last years’ freshman), Bill O. (security at Congressional CC), Farrah (Queen Bee), Bill (aka Billy), James (Harvard couldn’t get into MC), Keegan (they call me Mr. Downey), Rob (odds maker), Everest (mountain man), Ward (professional tanner), Chris (conflict resolution specialist) and Richard (lionhearted). To the booster’s, To our leader Ellen Ryan we couldn’t make it without you, and her band on the run Mary Rippert, Franny Rock, Beth D’Arcy, Grace Ronan, Denise McGloon, John Nalls, Pat Ryan, Chris Newkumet, Frank and Mary Perry, Mike and Mary Plantamura, Richard Wathen and Nancy Collins, Kristin Cuddihy and the rest of the cast from Ben Hur.

Spring 2014

Dear Gonzaga Rugby Players, Friends and Supporters, What a year it has been! We have climbed the mountain and I have to say, the view from the top is amazing! I am so proud of our players and coaches for all that they have achieved this year. From the first practices at pre-season camp in the snow to the final games of Nationals, one which was in freezing rain, it has been long, tough season. But we steadily made our way through it with dignity and what Coach Kelly likes to call the Big Giant Purple Heart. None of what we accomplished would have been possible without the unceasing support of the parents and the volunteers. They are an amazing group and I am in continually in awe of all they give to the program in time, talent and treasure—and have a great time doing it! Our season is long and we travel regularly but there are always people ready to lend a hand at any time and in any country! I particularly want to thank all the members of the Booster Board. They are a wonderful group of people and the time they give to Gonzaga Rugby is a great gift. I also want to acknowledge and thank our astounding coaching team! They are out working with the players in all weather and many of them after long hours at their “day” jobs. The players have learned so much from these talented and committed individuals-both on and off the field. It has been such a pleasure to work with them. Thank you so much!! At all levels of the program, the Gonzaga Rugby Players played great rugby with a firm eye on the Gonzaga credo of men for others. As a mom, I was as proud of the times I was complimented on what wellmannered and pleasant men they were when they won. It is a tribute to them, their parents, coaches and what Gonzaga is all about that they were as gracious in victory as in defeat. In addition our own grueling schedule, the Gonzaga Rugby family opened their hearts and homes to boys from California and from England. We hosted over 60 boys over the course of 2 weekends. Particular thanks go to all the families that took in several boys when we were in need of the help! It was a great example of the international rugby spirit. Thank you for the privilege of serving as the Rugby Booster President. It was an amazing and crazy year and I loved every minute of it. Go Eagles! Ellen Ryan Gonzaga Rugby Booster President

GONZAGA COLLEGE HISTORY THE JESUIT TRADITION

esuits and education. These two words combined denote excellent preparation for young people anywhere in the world. Jesuits and their lay colleagues seek to bring to full expression the talents of young people within the Christian tradition in their schools. This has been the case in Washington since 1821, when Gonzaga’s venerable predecessor, the Washington Seminary, was founded. In 1858, the name changed to Gonzaga College when President Buchanan signed the Act of Congress incorporating the school legally. Then, the school was located on F Street, N.W. It moved to North Capitol and Eye Streets, N.W. in 1871. Throughout that whole time, the school sought, and seeks, to help young people grow toward religious, intellectual and social maturity. Committing itself to a downtown location in the 1960s, Gonzaga serves a uniquely diverse student body, from all points of the compass. Students come here, and with the best advice and help, construct their own schedule of learning which will best help them develop their strengths. These include, for our students, commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ, dedication to academic excellence, personal service

to other people, especially those in need, and deep and fulfilling involvement in sporting and other co-curriculars.

THE SPIRIT OF GONZAGA At Gonzaga there is a tremendous sense of community; all Washington knows that Gonzaga students are outstanding, spirited, special persons. Because of Gonzaga’s amazing location, her students are on-the-scene participants in the cultural, intellectual, and political happenings of the Federal City. More importantly, students come to Gonzaga from every part of the entire metropolitan area. Increasingly, they use Metrorail to nearby Union Station; many come by Metrobus, commuter rail and carpool. Gonzaga students learn from one another. They are intellectually talented and racially, economically, geographically, and socially diverse. Gonzaga’s spirit embraces them and brings them all together in a caring, warm community where they meet other students who will be among their closest life-long friends.

ACADEMIC CHALLENGE Gonzaga offers outstanding academics. Gonzaga students work hard to complete a sophisticated academic program in which they learn how to understand the thoughts and achievements of others as they learn themselves to think and achieve. They learn to read and write effectively, to appreciate and create beauty, to understand that people are wonderfully diverse. Gonzaga students study and apply mathematics until they are at home with abstract and logical thinking. In Gonzaga’s acclaimed science program, students become scientists as well as humanists. Gonzaga graduates enjoy an intellectual balance because they have studied deeply in various subjects. 16 • GONZAGA RUGBY EAGLES 2014

GONZAGA COLLEGE HISTORY At Gonzaga, students grow increasingly responsible for their own learning. Gonzaga teachers—intellectually and humanly competent and experienced men and women—care most deeply that their students grow and learn. They stress in each course skills which will last and support further learning. And they are warm, friendly people whom students comfortably seek out for needed help.

COURSES GONZAGA STUDENTS TAKE: The Gonzaga student completes the following academic requirements: • four years of religion • four years of English • one year beyond Algebra II/Trigonometry in Mathematics • four years of history/social studies • to the third level of a language (Chinese, French, Spanish or Latin) • three years of science: biology, chemistry, physics, selected electives or AP levels of science • one year of physical education and health • one year of art or music performance • the Social Justice Program for community service

Gonzaga students develop responsibility, discipline, and skills of working together effectively through activities and sports. More importantly, they have fun together. Gonzaga’s athletes compete on teams in: • Wrestling • Cross Country • Baseball • Soccer • Crew • Football • Golf • Water Polo • Lacrosse • Basketball • Rugby • Indoor Track • Tennis • Swimming/Diving • Track • Ice Hockey • Squash Almost every student is involved in some club or organization. These activities include three different publications, student council, dramatics, debate and speech, band, the WZAG TV station, and more than a score of other clubs and teams and associations.

Many additional courses are available: • four levels of Latin • three levels of Greek • independent tutorial in English • computer programming • advanced art, music, choral arts • social sciences: government, psychology, world problems, economics • advanced placement (college level) courses are offered to qualified students in: each modern language, each science, calculus, English, American and European History, Computer Science • Honors philosophy Students may arrange to take additional courses at area universities.

OTHER WAYS TO LEARN Gonzaga students participate in an amazing variety of activities. Play rehearsals, football practice, and newspaper deadline rushes draw students together and bring them into close contact with faculty members who coordinate school activities.

GONZAGA RUGBY HISTORY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS – THE 1980S

THE 2000’S – BECOMING A POWERHOUSE

The history of Rugby Football at Gonzaga dates back to the fall of 1987. A few students, inspired by

This is the period where Gonzaga moved into the big time, becoming the Rugby powerhouse it is today. Expanded coaching staffs developed under the watchful eye of current Director of Rugby Lee Kelly have continued to improve the level of the team’s play by adapting to the changing styles and laws of the game. The club expanded from 2 teams in 2000 to 6 teams in 2013. This provided an opportunity for many

tales of sporting glory from their brothers and friends in college, brought the ‘Nobel Art” to their beloved school on Eye Street. The school administration did not share the enthusiasm of these brave innovators and they were forced to form “Eye Street Rugby” to realize their dream. This un-recognized club began play, as part of a sixteam PRU High School Division, in the spring of 1988. They recorded only one win in their first two seasons, an inauspicious beginning to a dynasty.

THE 1990S – BIG CHANGES BETTER RUGBY The 90s saw a steady increase in the number of players and the number of victories. The School finally wised-up and gave the Rugby team varsity status in 1994 and the team’s name changed to Gonzaga Rugby. The improvement in their Rugby abilities soon brought the “Men of Eye Street” the Cheery Blossom Festival crown, their first PRU championship and a visit to the Nationals where they placed third (1998). The 1990s are most notable for the creation of Gonzaga Rugby legend JP Perez who, after a stellar playing career, became the first and only (so far) alumni to take up the reins as Head Coach.

more players to gain experience and more importantly, valuable playing time. It was also during this time that the Eagles began a tradition that persists today, the annual spring tour. Gonzaga Rugby has toured the Cayman Islands, England, Ireland, Wales, France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, and Uruguay. These tours have been instrumental in improving the level of Gonzaga’s Rugby by continuously challenging more experienced teams of a high caliber.

On the field, the Eagles have won 13 PRU Championships, 5 MAVRC Championships, 6 MARFU Championships and multiple regional tournaments during the decade and participated in 9 National Championship tournaments. Recent years

GONZAGA RUGBY’S WORLD-WIDE AMBASSADORS Over the years, many Gonzaga Rugby players and alumni have been selected for USA Rugby National squads at the U17, U18, U19 and U20 level.

They also made a fifth consecutive trip to the final four at the USA Rugby National High School Championships coming up short against JesuitSacramento in the finals. Varsity captains Matt Flynn, Dom Plantamura and Ben Cima with excellent support from other team leaders provided able assistance to Coach Kelly and his staff. Besides the Varsity Purple, Gonzaga Rugby fielded five other teams including the Varsity White, Sophomore Purple, Sophomore White and two Freshmen Teams. All of these teams earned championship honors during the 2013 season. These honors 2009
