Rugby Indiana has been running a relatively low-key High School season this spring, but it ramps up this coming weekend.

With the State Governing Body not recording scores or keeping standings, the games have basically been a series of friendly matches that lead, possibly, to some seedings. But this weekend the Rugby Indiana Spring Tournament kicks off with eight Boys HS teams involved.

Pendleton (ranked #26 among HS Clubs by GRR), takes on Leo/Angola, Marian plays Chargers, Avon (#35) plays Westfield, and Louisville plays Carmel.

The winners will then come together the following weekend at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind. to play Saturday and Monday (Memorial Day) to decide a D1 champion. 

The teams that lose this coming Saturday still have games to play, with a Challenge Cup at Elkhart the same weekend as the championship.

Indiana's Super League, which consists of Royal Irish, Bishop Dwenger, Penn, HSE, Brownsburg, and Culver, will finalize its bracket after this weekend. The top four will go into a semifinal-final championship on May 29 to May 31. May 29 will also see a Challenge Cup game between the 5th- and 6th-ranked teams. Culver Military Academy has already stated its expectation that the team will play in the Challenge Cup.

So it basically all comes down to this weekend, with Penn taking on HSE and Dwenger playing Brownsburg. It's likely that the loser of HSE vs Penn will go into 5th, although it is also possible that if Brownsburg is beaten badly, they might be 5th. It's unlikely Dwenger will not be seeded among the top four.

Royal Irish is idle and has to be steaming after a couple of cancelations. They are idle this weekend, but expected a couple of tough games the last two weeks leading into the state championships, but didn't get them.
