A little history...
In 2000, Matt Hudson approached his Olympia RFC teammates wanting to start a U19 team, to be called the Capital Cougars, the namesake of his alma mater, Capital High School in Olympia. We assumed that our U19 team, much like all other teams, would struggle to get going, and to gain members. That was until Mr. Pete Sullivan agreed to coach the side at the request of Trevor Anderson.
The numbers grew quickly thanks to great recruiting and marketing by Matt Hudson and the Men's Side. We soon had athletes from all of the local high schools, as well as a few from Shelton. Because of the diverse membership, the team's name became an issue almost immediately. Athletes from other high schools did not want to play for a rival school's team, even though there was no affiliation. So, the club sat down to address this issue.
We quickly realized that changing the U19's side to Olympia Rugby U19 was not a great solution since there is an Olympia High School, and we would be facing the same problem. We brainstormed. It was tough and painful, but we did it. The U19s would forever be called the Barbarians, and the club from which it was born would become the Budd Bay Rugby Football Club.
