Florida, California Steps Up in D1AA Weekend
Florida opens up their league season with one team on a massive high.
We talked quite a bit about St. Thomas out of Miami and the expectation is that this will be STU's final season in D1AA. They won Florida's D1AA league in 2023-24 and capped off that spring with a Bowl Game win against Air Force.
Time to Test Yourself in D1A
Sometimes a very strong college team, especially one with significant depth, will suit up for games in different locations, or first-side-level games against multiple opponents.
Some Early Big-Name Games in HS Action
It's early days but we have some high-profile games in boys HS rugby in January already.
Friday night brings us the clash of undefeateds in North Carolina's school league with the upstart Charlotte Catholic against the more established Hough Huskies. (Rescheduled to Jan 28 due to weather.)
West Coast Starts Major College Action
Seven D1A or D1AA games are on the slate this weekend, with every game but one being on the West Coast, and that other one being just one state inland.
Major Tests and Opening Weeks for Boys HS
Almost 30 games are on the schedule for Boys HS rugby this weekend.
This even though the Storer Classic is, unfortunately, canceled due to the LA fires. We don't know if any other games are affected by the wildfires, but it certainly is possible.
