We had to make a large number of changes in the HS Club Top 50.
The Friendship Cup had an impact, but we also just felt we had to revisit some teams and, as leagues really start to take on the season.
KC Jr. Blues lost by a single point to Wichita. This is a good win for Wichita and an indication that they should be ranked and should be ranked relatively high. The Blues dropped ... maybe too far, we'll see. There are more games to come.
We had a bit of a decision to make with NorCal teams. Marin's close win over Danville has been kind of thrown out because their comparable results with like opponents compared to Danville and SFGG mean we can hang everything on that one result. Of course Cavemen moves up based on their performances at the Friendship Cup, but we have already cautioned fans not to put too much credence in that tournament. And then we put a lot of credence in it. Don't worry ... other results can overwhelm the Friendship Cup results or confirm them.
Fort Hunt moved up after a win over Richmond, but, they have to confirm that placing, too.

A nice and brief chat with Greg from @NextPhase_Rugby on why getting the premium level helps now. @usayhsrugbypic.twitter.com/VTc50YcyM9
