Sunlight brought a warrior’s mentality out of the Camas rugby players Saturday, at Skyridge Middle School.

"It's just a lot of fun to be able to play the game you love with your buddies, and to have a lot of people come and watch," said Camas High School junior Nickolas Gadbaw. "It was amazing being out in the sun"

Playing at home for the first time this season, the Mean Machine out-muscled Tualatin in the mud 50-3. Gadbaw led the attack with three tries for 15 points.

"I've been playing this game for 12 years, and I have lots of experience. It's great to be able to show what I can do," Gadbaw said. "I love my teammates. They knew just what to do to get me the ball at the right time. I got some good kicks and I got all the right bounces."
