After a solid season, everything is on the line Saturday for the Bow Valley Grizzlies men’s rugby team.

The Grizz are hosting the Division 2 quarterfinals against the Foothills Lions Aug. 23 at the Mitford pitch. Kickoff is at noon.

Coming off a bye, the Grizz dropped their final regular-season game to the Banff Bears, 37-20. The win secured Banff top spot in the Division 2 standings and reclaimed the Grizzly Bear Cup, which Bow Valley had held for the past two seasons.

The Regina Thunder have kicked off the CJFL season with a 2-0 record on the road, earning wins against the Edmonton Huskies and Calgary Colts. A former Peacock Collegiate Tornado has played a key role in those victories.

Linebacker Devin Baumann has made a strong impact for the Thunder, recording 11 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and a blocked punt that he returned for a touchdown last weekend against the Colts. In previous seasons, Baumann was known primarily as a special teams standout. This year, however, he’s stepped into a full-time starting role on defense.
