The Aspen Junior Gents rugby team is off to a hot start in its state championship defense season, going 2-0 in the Colorado Tier II league through its first two games.
In their home opener at Willits Field on Saturday, the Jr. Gents found the try zone early and often in a 48-19 win over the Castle Rock Pirates despite dressing only 14 players — playing a man down the whole game and not having any subs.
