Winter Banquet Recap: Celebrating Our Fall Season
This past weekend, we gathered at Johnson City Brewing Company – Boones Creek to celebrate an incredible fall season and enjoy some well-deserved time together off the field. The Winter Banquet was a perfect mix of recognition, laughter, and community—a fitting close to a memorable season.
The Gingerbread Awards
One of the highlights of the night was our Gingerbread Awards—fun, lighthearted paper plate awards that celebrated the unique personalities, hard work, and quirks of our team. From standout moments on the pitch to the stories we’ll tell for years to come, everyone walked away with a smile (and maybe a little good-natured teasing).
These superlatives reminded us what makes Johnson City Rugby more than just a team—it’s the bond we share, the support we show, and the memories we create together.
Celebrating the Fall Season
This fall brought growth, challenges, and unforgettable moments, and the banquet gave us time to reflect on everything we accomplished. From hard-fought games to the camaraderie that carries us through, we’re proud of how far we’ve come and excited for what’s ahead.
As we celebrated our fall season, it wasn’t just about the wins or the tries—it was about the team we’ve become and the foundation we’re building for the future.
Looking Ahead
With the winter break underway, we’re already looking forward to what’s next. Practices resume in February, and we’re ready to hit the ground running.
