In a spring that has not seen great weather for rugby, teams from WI and MN met in Mauston, WI for the annual Border Battle between the two states. This is an open friendly competition where teams from the greater Milwaukee area meet at a neutral location with teams from the Twin City area.
After a 3rd place finish at Midwest, Kettle Moraine is looking to next fall and preparing for the highly competitive state competition. Said coach, Jeff Noe, "While the scores didn't reflect the way we wanted to end our season, the tournament allowed us to see multiple combinations and look at some players at different positions for future lineups next fall."
The MN teams are in the middle of their league season with three weeks before their State Championships on June 4th. They had probably the toughest time of any region getting started this spring because of the weather. Edina and Rogers are both at the top of the tier 2 bracket, while Armstrong is just behind the leaders in Tier I. Brookfield notched a nice win against Armstrong, who was Minnesota's representative to the D1 Midwest Championships two weeks ago, finishing sixth. Armstrong's season ending matchup against Wayzata could be a preview to the State Final as both teams remain undefeated
KM v Hopkins 57-7

KM v Armstrong 5-7
