Boys 2021 School HS Rankings Week 14
It wasn't a huge weekend for games, especially among school teams, but we did see a few that prompted moves.
Cardinal Moeller was very impressive in the Rugby Ohio playoffs and that, along with a close loss to St. Ignatius earlier, moves them up. Dwenger, which lost to Moeller in a close one some months ago, follows thanks in part to their solid weekend.

Royal Irish Takes Indiana Super League Final
Royal Irish took the Rugby Indiana Super League title Monday, beating a tenacious Bishop Dwenger 32-21.
Led by a playoff MVP performance by flyhalf Tommy Hannon, and with prop Andy Guhl leading the way up front, Royal Irish put in a very strong defensive performance. However, when they made errors, Dwenger was only too happy to capitalize.
Gonzaga Takes Down Indisciplined Vienna
Gonzaga defeated Vienna this weekend in a clash of the #5 school team and the #29 HS club.
The game itself was rough on Vienna as a red card and general indiscipline undercut their performance. Too many errors also didn't help as Gonzaga was more cohesive and put together and eventually won out 35-15.
Menlo-Athlerton, Marin Shake Up NorCal
Menlo-Atherton produced a very nice performance in beating HS Club #17 Granite Bay 29-24 Saturday.
