So Teki has always loved and played rugby. Growing up he played with the Provo Steelers. They were good, he even went as far as to permanently tattoo it on his leg! They almost always won all the tournaments they played in and Teki was happy to be part of a team that all played well together. But after we got married he moved up here to Sandy and it was harder for him to get to his practices. He would head down to Provo when he could and practice and still would play in the games when they had them. But last fall the opportunity arose for him to try out for a new team. A new Super League team, The Warriors. Teki made the team and since they were new they started putting things together. They started out having late 10 or 11 at night practices, it was hard to be going to bed and having Teki be leaving but I knew it would be worth it for him to go and to get those practices in to become a better team. In January the Warriors had their first game/scrimmage against the University of Utah and did really well 59-19. Next up was the Las Vegas Invitational. The team they were supposed to play didn't show up and they ended up playing another team who they killed with the score ending in 81-5. Teki scored twice in this game!
Finally the Super League season started in March and their first game was an away game in Denver. A lot of people were doubting the Warriors because they are a new team but they came out on top and played well against Denver, they won 38-21. Their first home game was against Dallas and they killed it, winning 78-15! Last week they traveled to San Francisco and they played hard but came out defeated losing 32-8. They had a home game this past week against Seattle and ended up losing by one point! The weather was really bad but still they tried, the score was 18-17, Teki scored their last try this game. They still have a few more games this season. And I am hoping the Warriors and Teki can continue to do well! This has been such an amazing opportunity for Teki to continue doing what he loves, playing rugby. I'm so grateful that he has been blessed with the ability to play and to continue to play!
