  10.

  14. JSU Mediums • I got 2 of my friends that work at 92J to announce all information about the upcoming home games during their broadcast. • They complied!! • “Make sure you head over to the intramural field this Saturday at 1pm as the JSU Rugby Team takes on the Auburn Tigers in what has become a friendly rivalry,” said Matt Singleton in one of his broadcast. “Admission is free and should be full of lots of hard hits has our defending GRU champs defended their title.”

  15. JSU Mediums • Got 2 articles published about the team by talking to The Chanticleer sports editor Patrick Swafford. • One about our home win over Auburn and the other about our Championship win in the Battleship tournament.

  16. JSU Rugby Mission Statement • To form a brotherhood with all members in the effort of winning at all cost and shaping its members into the leaders of tomorrow, all while presenting the sport of rugby in a honorable manner.
