Gonzaga remains #1 after a good win over #4 Xavier (we love those sorts of matchups, but the Goff Rugby Report Boys Single-School Rankings have some shifts further down.
Greenwich gets pinged hard for their loss against Fairfield, but certainly can bounce back (one result does not a season make). We're getting increasingly impressed with Pelham, not only for the fact that they're winning, but how good their defense is and how convincing the wins are. You can argue that the Florida teams they beat weren't at their best - fine, argue that - but Pelham still beat them in impressive fashion.
Other moves of note - Jesuit of Dallas drops because their loss to Lake Travis was by a lot. Snow Canyon moves up after beating a very strong San Diego Mustangs team (there's much more to come from Utah this season).
Archbishop Riordan gets into the rankings despite being only 2-5 in league and playoff play. Why? Well the four teams that provided their five losses are all very highly ranked (SS2, MS1, MS3, MS33) and they didn't roll over on any of them. Danville coaches were very complimentary of Riordan in their recent 37-13 playoff result, and we take that into consideration.
So congrats to Riordan, and here's the rest of the Single-School Top 50.
