2004

Stepping into a revised Division 1 Metropolitan league, the 2004 Cardinals went to work and suffered only one loss in league play to… you guessed it, Xavier.  Placing second in one of the strongest leagues in the Northeast put us as the #4 seed at Northeasterns(a change from Easterns).  Captains Jeff Aser, Mike Schacter and Dan Warzoha lead the team to a fifth place finish at Northeasterns in Concord, NH.  Joining the coaching staff with Coach Porter was our new full-time coach, alumni- Joe Petrone(1998) and a Division 1 player from Wales- Richard Cowley.  The team came together and excelled with only four seniors. The team lost a tremendous supporter, father, administrator and human being, as Spencer J. Schedler passed away.  A new GHS Rugby Hall of Fame was started this year and Spence was our first inductee.  The Schedler family was at our banquet to accept the induction and receive this year’s yearbook that was dedicated to Spence.  The Schedlers had the honor to announce our second inductee, one of the team’s original founders, Rodney J. van Zyl.  The team looks forward to honoring those who have made extraordinary achievements in the tradition of Greenwich High School Rugby.
