State Championships and Finalists Decided Last Weekend
Champions were crowned and championship matchups were decided in Boys HS rugby this weekend and here's a look at what happened outside of the HS National Championships.
St. Ignatius Wins Big Rivalry Game over St. Edward
It's difficult to fully represent the rivalry between St. Edward and St. Ignatius in Cleveland.
These two schools are just a few minutes' drive from each other and yet in some way are light years apart. You're an Ed's fan or you're an Iggy fan. You can't be both. Both schools have enjoyed success in a variety of sports and that includes rugby.
Last Minute Try Sees Improving Medina Over Olentangy
Medina Rugby secured a late comeback win in Ohio, bypassing well-regarded Olentangy 17-14.
The win was enough to bump Medina into GRR's HS Club Top 50.
St. Edward Putting It Together in Ohio
St. Edward continues to take steps forward in Ohio, and did so this past weekend with a win over Archbishop Moeller.
St. Ignatius Rebounds for Big Win in Ohio
St. Ignatius of Cleveland defeated St. Xavier 62-12 Saturday on a very, very windy day in Ohio.
Ignatius used defensive pressure as much as anything else to get the job done, pushing St. X back and forcing turnovers and errors simply by making tackles. With players such as Cole Sutkus, Pat Cooney, and Michael Krebs they produced scoring chances early.
