Highest-level divisions in state and regional Boys HS rugby competitions.
Boys School-Team Rankings Week 17
Herriman moves back to #1 after an excellent showing in Montana, including a 40-0 shutout of Jesuit.
Even though St. Ignatius beat Xavier (and yes it was wet and rainy or whatever), they didn't control things the way Herriman did.
St. Edward moves up thanks to an excellent showing against a very good Detroit Catholic Central.
Gonzaga, Doylestown Tops at Gonzaga Classic
Gonzaga hosted their Gonzaga Classic over the weekend, with the host team taking the Boys Varsity bracket, while Doylestown impressed in the Girls Varsity bracket and took the final.
Gonzaga College HS inducted their 2014-2016 teams, which won three state National Championships, into the Gonzaga Athletic Hall of Fame, so there were plenty of alumni watching the games.
Thunder Gets Job Done vs Belmont Shore
Thunder Rugby secured a spot in the Boys HS Rugby National Championships with an emphatic 45-15 victory over Belmont Shore.
With the win, Thunder, which has already defeated SOC Raptors, has won the three-team Socal play-in for the HS National Championships. (San Diego Mustangs had already secured an invitation.)
Teams Set for Montana Invitational Challenge
It’s going to be cold at the Montana Invitational this weekend but the rugby action should be pretty hot.
The tournament welcomes a HS Boys Elite, HS Girls Elite, HS Girls Premier, HS Boys Premier, and a U16 Boys Elite over the course of two days in Bozeman, MT.
Ed's vs Gonzaga Another Indication of How Close It All Is
The school-team pecking order is closing up tighter and tighter as the season progresses, and one example of that was this past weekend in Ohio.
Gonzaga visited St. Edward in a meeting of #7 and #16. This was a close one, and St. Edward was in the lead for a time in the second half at 12-7, before Gonzaga pulled away 28-15.
