GRR HS School Team Rankings Week 3

GRR HS School Team Rankings Week 3

Cathedral Catholic moves up three spot after beating St. Augustine.

We expected a relatively quiet week because North Carolina had an off week and other leagues haven't started yet, but ...

Bad weather postponed most of the single-school games in Texas and that slowed it all down even more. We're interested in Allen HS and could see them coming up, but we needed to see them play St. Thomas, and that game got frozen out.

We do have a move from Cathedral, and there's an interesting debate going on as to which is the stronger competition, the SCIRF or the SoCal Varsity league. We'd like to see them united, of course, and because we don't we have to sort of guess. Actually, it's less about guessing and more about tracking what third-party observers think and what outside games they can play. 

We do get the feeling that San Clemente is strong and they get a good bump up.


The GRR Rankings are brought to you by Next Phase Rugby, a USA-made and maintained app that connects college rugby programs and HS rugby players. It's a great way for college programs to find players they wouldn't know otherwise, and a great way for high schoolers to create and finalize their best college prospects.
