It's been a crazy couple of weeks in Boys HS Club Rugby, with several top-ranked teams losing games, but games that leave us skeptical.
Back Bay's win over Santa Monica was a pre-season game, and so was Back Bay's loss to Empire. We're reluctant to just chuck Empire in the Top 30, but we might if they produce a couple more strong results. Meanwhile, we feel we have to give some credence to Kahuku's defeat of United, even though we know United were under-staffed. So Kahuku moves up, and United down. Both Back Bay and Santa Monica move down (and the Sharks move ahead of the Dolphins), but Empire has to wait.
(Also we updated this because we had not included North Bay's loss to Peninsula Green, which messes things up even more)
Teams that have produced consistently strong results in league play add to the list near the bottom end - two from Texas and two from Florida.
