Like many other college students Mason Lamb spends his time like everyone else. Doing home work, studying, and going to the occasional party, but when it’s time for summer, he turns into a hard hitting rugby player.
Lamb is a 20-year old student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Born and raised in Rockford, IL he attended Rockford Lutheran High School where he played sports all year round; football, wrestling, and track. During his sophomore year he found a new sport to play, rugby and he has been addicted ever since.
A close friend of Mason’s got him to try out for their citie’s rugby team (The Jr. Rockford Ravens) his sophomore year. To his great surprise he picked the game up fast and even made the team. “Ever since that first day of try outs I knew this was the game for me,” Lamb said. Quickly he learned as much as he could about rugby, and by the end of the year he became a starter for his team.
His junior year he was honored as the youngest captain ever to play for his cities team. By the time Lamb finished high school he had made it to the Illinois rugby play-off’s three times, winning forth place his senior year. “Winning forth was one of the highlights of my whole high school career,” Lamb stated. He was also invited to try out for the USA Jr. Rugby Team, but due to a knee injury was unable to go.
Now Lamb only plays during the summer with the men’s team in Rockford. He wishes he could find a team around here, but with his knee he probably wouldn’t last long. Lamb said “I love this sport; I’ll probably play till die.”
