HS Nationals Breakdown: Who And What
The Boys HS Rugby National Championships has seen a massive changeover for 2019.
Announced last week, the field of 24 teams has nine changes from 2018, which is significant in what organizers said was the most competitive field of applicants they had ever seen.
Gonzaga Handles St. Ignatius In Early-Season Clash
Gonzaga HS is thinking national championship again and took an impressive step toward that end with a 34-12 defeat of St. Ignatius out of Cleveland.
This is a regular meeting between these two teams, and it's often very close. While still a competitive game, it was a little more on Gonzaga's side, and there's a reason for that.
Bosco Wins SCIRF In Controversial Game
St. John Bosco upset St. Augustine to take the SCIRF title over the weekend, in a win that was not without controversy.
Bosco did well to stifle an impressive St. Augustine attack, and held the Saints to just 11 points.
Wando Defeated Phoenix Alpharetta
Wando defeated Phoenix Alpharetta 39-12 this past weekend in Mid-South Independent Rugby League action.
Wando set the tone early with tries tfromo Caleb Calandra, Ben Wakser, and Cole Frank in a high-tempo match. Powerful No.8 Ahmad Alquza closed out the first half with a surging run that put him over the line.
