Steamboat Rugby Club falls to rival Vail
Vail team wins Mountain League title with victory
In the three rounds the Steamboat Springs and Vail rugby clubs have waged this season, maybe none meant more than Saturday’s game at Whistler Field to decide the Mountain League championship. The two pre-eminent mountain town clubs — who each had one victory against the other this season — waged another heated battle on a sun-soaked field, with Vail deciding the game early in the second half en route to a 49-36 win.

Steamboat, Hayden focus on fun at Friday night football scrimmage
Fourth downs transitioned seamlessly to first downs, requiring no change of possession no matter the yardage gained. Nearly every play started at the 40-yard line, penalties didn’t count and no one even pretended to keep score. Both coaches from Friday night’s high school football scrimmage that pitted Steamboat Springs against Hayden argued everyone came away a winner.
