Sorry for the late posting of this.
As you may know, we are in Ireland seeing first-hand how Irish Rugby Tours sets up tours for teams across America. We saw St. Thomas Aquinas play Ennis Rugby Club on the West Coast of Ireland to a tie.
And we saw the Kansas City Blues men's club walk in the Galway St. Patrick's Day Parade, among other things.
But you deserve rankings, so here you go.
We hinted at Owyhee being the new team to watch in Idaho and they have produced in their opener. Eagle HS in Idaho has always been a team around the rankings and beating Capital HS this week puts them there.
St. Pius X beat Dallas Jesuit and finally gets into the rankings. St. Ignatius drops down simply because Gonzaga's defeat of a Fort Hunt is a more noticeable and notable result.
