How Top-Ranked HS Teams Fared This Week
It was a fairly busy week for top-of-the-rankings teams. Here's how several of the higher-ranked teams did.
Big Games for #1s
Current #1-ranked school team is Torrey Pines, and they played and won the Southern California school final on Wednesday over Orange Lutheran.
EIRA U18 Team to Final of Vancouver 7s Invitational
Being the only non-Canadian team invited to the Vancouver Sevens Invitational, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy has honored that invitation by making the final of the tournament.
The U18 Boys EIRA side finished 2nd in their pool, beating BC Blue and Alberta Development, but tying Ontario Blue. The Ontario side took 1st in Pool A thanks to points difference.
Championships, Cross-Border Games, and the Lindenwood Tournament
As a weekend preview this isn't much of one as one of the games was already played.
Torrey Pines won the Southern California School League with a midweek victory over Orange Lutheran 43-13.
This sets up an All-California final for the Falcons. On March 14 they will face the winner of this weekend's St. Francis vs Rio Americano Northern California final.
A New Look in Texas Varsity Cup as Celina and Las Colinas Face Off
Led by three tries from Boaz Schappaugh Celina HS shut out Lake Travis 66-0 over the weekend.
That win has the Texas team solidly among the top teams in the Texas Boys Varsity Cup North Division.
As we mapped out a few days ago, the Celina team has managed to take a step forward despite having to replace almost their entire pack.
Boys HS Club Rankings 2026 Week 9
As we warned you earlier this year, these rankings will have major changes.
Club teams can have high turnover and the ebb and flow of success is a bit more dramatic for clubs than it is for schools. Having said that, we made a mistake in moving Boca down earlier because we should have ensured they remained ranked ahead of Key Biscayne.
