HS State Finals, Tournaments, Rankings Clashes

04.24.2025HS Boys

Over 130 games are on the high school slate this weekend as most leagues heat up.

We also have a pretty compelling Montana Invitationals, which includes Herriman, Kahuku, Liberty out of Washington, and leading teams in Montana Missoula and Gallatin.

Live stream for the Invitational is here>>

Florida sees its quarterfinals and it was interesting to see Jacksonville at the Tropical 7s last week as they bounce from 15s to 7s to 15s. Well, actually, they played a slightly more open-field version of 15s at Tropical, and it was, said Head Coach Aaron Church, a good way to prepare for the playoffs.

Illinois is hitting its stride and last week we saw New Trier beat Neuqua 29-14. this was a non-league game and Neuqua starts its single-school season this coming week. The game was 10-7 at halftime and Neuqua in fact led 14-10 after a wayward pass was nabbed and taken to the house. But New Trier's powerful pack and ability to regather themselves saw them dominate possession and score three tries in the last third of the match to win 29-14.

So we're heavily into rugby in Illinois, Wisconsin, and (sort of) Minnesota. Actually, Minnesota is quiet this weekend but we'll see more of them later on (as usual). Hopkins is looking good there.
