The TOLA Series has had two stops, first at Lone Star 7s and then this past weekend at Bloodfest 7s. So far for the men, the Austin Blacks have taken both tournaments and stand atop the standings. It is worth mentioning that technically there is a four way tie for number one in the men’s series with the Blacks, Huns, Lone Star and Reds all at eight points.
Likewise, in the women’s series the Austin Valkyries stand on top but the Dallas Harlequins aren’t far behind.
The next TOLA tournament is this weekend, June 24 at Tornado Alley 7s in Norman, OK. No women’s teams are planning on attending, so it will just be a men’s event. We hope you’ll join us!
