Charlotte Cardinals, Okapi Clash in Pathway Classic
Anthem Rugby Carolina is working on some out-of-MLR games to showcase local colleges and high school teams and Friday is the first event around that.
Ohio State will come into Charlotte to play Queens University, and before that we have a really intriguing high school matchup between top Florida team, Okapi, and 2025 HS Club national runners up Charlotte Cardinals.
Raptors Defeat Golden Eagle in Opener
The Raptors of Tennessee met up with Golden Eagle out of Georgia in Knoxville, Tenn. Saturday, with the Tennessee team taking the game 24-3.
This was the first outing of the season for the Raptors and it showed as both teams struggled to get going on a muddy pitch. A young Golden Eagle had already played Roswell, losing a close one. They have strong numbers but need experience.
Doylestown Rolls in Season Opener
The Doylestown Boys High School team put in an impressive opening result of the season, beating Virginia power Fort Hunt 62-28 on the road.
Magnanimous in defeat, Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach was impressed with Doylestown.
