GRR: Awards
Over the last couple of weeks, various teams have been in the middle of their playoffs and championship games.
This is our Gamebreakers column from this games, not including the Boys HS Rugby National Championships - we’ll have an additional edition for that one.
In getting to the final of the Rugby Oregon Boys Club competition, Northside needed something special, and they got it.
It’s been a couple of weeks since we ran a Gamebreakers feature, so we go back a couple of weeks with our recognition of top players in Boys HS Rugby.

The Chargers (Wisc.) center scored three tries for in a 32-19 win over Grafton, and in fact a couple of weeks before recorded another hat trick.
The procedure wasn’t expected to be a big deal - wrestlers and rugby players, and Jesse Phillips was both, get their noses bashed around a bit - but it ended up being a very, very big deal.
Westlake HS won the Texas state championship by a point, and it would be fair to say that without Ryan Rees, it wouldn’t have happened like that.
Of course, we could say that about anyone on the Westlake team, but we are picking Rees. The Chaps scrumhalf has had a good example to follow. His brother, Alex, is a star scrumhalf at Arkansas, and also filled that role at Westlake.
