Also in the news, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett dropped by DSHA on Thursday to declare May 21, 2009 "DIVINE SAVIOR HOLY ANGELS HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY CLUB NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DAY" for all Milwaukee! Talk about raising the image of rugby. Below is s a copy of the official proclamation. (I am hoping that we can track down some pictures of the mayor presenting the award as well).
I want to note that, despite the fact that DSHA has a lot to be proud of, almost all my information comes from individuals who are not affiliated with the club. I wish Chin and his cohorts were a little less modest ... so I don't have to hear about them third hand. Besides, DSHA's continued success is only possible because they have teams to play. We should all take pride that a Wisconsin club does so very, very well!
Also... I strongly encourage any club to send me their pictures/news ... getting the word out about our individual clubs is always a positive -- even if we aren't all national champions. Just for fun, here is an image captured by a Brookfield Rugby player -- captured on her cell-phone cam -- of the Brookfield Coach celebrating the 5-0 victory of the Brookfield-B-side over the DSHA-B side from that rainy weekend a couple of weeks ago:
Why? Well... because you have to take pride in every accomplishment .. whether it "counts" for your record or not!
