D1AA Spring Rankings Week 1

We're back with our D1AA rankings, but they are changed.

We include the teams that are playing in the winter/spring. We'll have to wait for some of the HOA teams to play, and that's a bit of a balancing act, but Florida, California-Southwest, California-Northern California, and NCRC are all playing now (or about to).

Restart Success Leads USA U18 Boys Performance

Every now and then a USA age-grade team puts in a performance and you get the feeling that, hey, maybe we’re not crazy.

Of late the USA U20 and U18 teams on the men/boys and women/girls sides have both had their moments, and certainly for the U18 boys, the Global Youth 7s was one of those moments.
