Tanner Lupton (left) gets a golden opportunity to score five points for the Camas rugby team after Hanini Buchanan (center) knocked the ball loose. The Mean Machine beat Polk County 17-5 April 2, at Skyridge Middle School in Camas. The Mean Machine play the next two games in Oregon, before returning to Skyridge on April 30.

Hail pounded the Camas rugby players like a ton of bricks, but there was no stopping the Mean Machine.

Call it icing on the cake, or a cold bath to sooth all of those aches and pains, but Camas was only minutes away from celebrating a 17-5 victory over Polk County April 2, at Skyridge Middle School in Camas.
