OBETZ — Dan Hayes sent captain Logan Stentz to accept the runner-up trophy May 31. Hayes began Warrior Rugby a decade ago, and players of Stentz’s ilk have embodied the spirit of a program that quickly became a dynasty. Warrior Rugby fell 30-17 to Medina in the Single School state championship game at Fortress Obetz. “Logan’s a great kid. He’s a C-TEC student but was basically done with high school and had been for some time, doing his internship,” Hayes said.
