WGR All State Team 2018 and League Awards


WGR 2018 All State Team and League Awards

WGR Team Sportsmanship Award 2018:                       Oak Creek High School
            Excerpt from their nomination:
Displayed a positive attitude and composure while fielding a very young and inexperienced team.  Despite knowing they had to forfeit a few matches due to a small roster, they enthusiastically competed in scheduled conference matches and were willing to combine with players from other teams.  Opponents noted an impressive positive attitude from players and coaches, both on and off the field.




WGR Spirit of the Game Award 2018:               Jeff Noe
Jeff Noe has been helping Wisconsin Girls Rugby for 15 years and counting.  He coached a league team for 10 years, created the state tournament concept, worked as the acting treasurer, and now has transitioned into operating the Wisconsin State Selects program for the last 5 years.  He does so in a way that includes developing and experienced players; fielding full sides at both the V and JV level.  His work has benefitted our entire league’s development.  He continues to maintain connections with WGR coaches and players, assisting them in efforts to continue playing, and was present for every match of the 2018 State Tournament.



2018 AST
AST players are exemplary in character, ability, skill, and commitment in Wisconsin Fall League Play. This is separate from the Wisconsin HS Select Side which is determined by players trying out and their availability."
