Bonilla-Lucas Legacy 7's
The renaming of the Roy Lucas to the Bonilla Lucas is in remembrance of our departed friend and brother Giovanni Bonilla but to also honor a local legend Roy Lucas
For a little background on the honored named jesters:
Roy Lucas was a founding jester of ORSU in 1974. He is renowned locally for his positive attitude, hard work and off the field antics. Roy played until his sudden death during a match against golden gate in 1995.
Gio Bonilla was a recent addition to ORSU, joining in 2021 when he moved to Portland from Texas. Soon he became an integral part of the club, the culture and the family. In his time with us he became one of the most influential and impactful jesters of this generation.Tragically and suddenly he was taken from us in June 2023.
The name change to include Bonilla is to bridge the gap between the old generation and the new generation and to begin honoring all ruggers who can no longer join their team on the pitch.
As always, EMBO
