It was a sport that came to be better-known as murderball. Now it’s settled in with the more straightforward name of wheelchair rugby. With teams of four competing against each other, the competition is fierce. And many of the nation’s best squads are in the Valley this weekend for the United States Quad Rugby Association National Tournament. It’s being held at Ability360 in Phoenix.
And with me are Gus LaZear, Vice President and General Manager of Ability360; and Joe Delagrave of the 360 Phoenix Heat team and a Bronze Medal winner at the 2012 Paralympic Games.
