The Stanley Blue Jays varsity football season opened last Friday on the road as they met up with Rugby in non-conference play.
The game started out close with Rugby putting the first points on the board and the Blue Jays answering back. Things took a turn at the end of the first half, with Rugby able to extend their lead on their way to the 36 to 14 victory over the Blue Jays.
