                                                                                    St. Joseph Prep Thanksgiving Rugby 7's results 
Game 1
Shanahan began play on the day with a 10-5 win against St. Augustine Prep. Shanahan overcame some sloppy play early to triumph over the hermits. Tries were scored by Masen Dreilling and Collin kearns. 

Game 2
After quickly being down by 2 scores, Shanahan rallied to beat Media RFC 20-10. The comeback was sparked by a spectacular run by Marc Hillar which led to a go-ahead try by Joe Zepka, who had 3 on the day. 

Game 3
Shanahan ended the day with a hard fought match against St Joes Prep. Shanahan responded to an early try by St Joes with an equalizing try by captain Brian Gale. Shanahan fought hard, with brilliant defensive efforts by Dave Hockenberry and Marc Hillar, but ultimately fell to St Joes 25-5.
