One of the five Regional Cup all-star tournaments, the event is as big as ever, featuring 16 boys varsity teams, and 12 boys JV teams.
Togetherness Fuels Rio Rancho NM State Title
They make no apologies in the high desert.

Edina Wins 5th-Straight Minnesota Title
Edina overcame an early deficit to beat Minnetonka 22-10 Saturday and win the Minnesota Youth Rugby Boys HS championship.
Minnetonka did take a 5-0 lead, capitalizing on some Edina errors. And in fact it wasn't really a comfortable run for Edina - last week they needed overtime to get through the semis against Duluth.
Ohio Celts Solid in MW All-Star Challenge

Playing at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind., Ohio defeated Illinois 57-0, and then came back from a 17-0 deficit to beat Indiana 24-17.
