GRR: Belmont Shore
Here's a quick look at the NAI 7s.
U18 EliteRebel Rugby Academy White won the Boys U18 Elite in dramatic fashion, coming back from a 12-7 deficit at halftime to win 26-24 over Next Phase Rugby. This was exactly the matchup last year and Rebel came away with a close win then, too.
Pool play isn't done in the NAI 7s Girls Elite but Belmont Shore and Majestics are looking good.
Both of these teams, who, coincidentally, were the finalists in the National HS Club Championships, are 3-0 after Day One.
Two more games remain before anyone plays a final, and Belmont Shore and Majestics don't play each other until Round 5.
Rebel Rugby Academy, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy, Next Phase Rugby, and Belmont Shore all went 3-0 in pool play in today's NAI 7s Boys U18 Elite action.
Two of the HS Club National Championship Games on Day 1 were all-time classics.
The other two were excellent example of how to stifle an attack and get through the day. Friday now sees Belmont Shore vs The Woodlands in one semi, and Charlotte Cardinals vs San Diego Mustangs in the other.
Just about everyone not wearing a Belmont Shore jersey was shocked Saturday to see the Long Beach club defeat the Majestics 34-15 to win the Girls HS Club National Championship.
