GRR: Clayton HS
The girls Gonzaga Classic promises to be a bit of barnburner this weekend.
Several national-level teams are in action, with Aspetuck perhaps leading the way after a pretty impressive March and early April.

Vienna took on both the Clayton Rugby Club and Raleigh Redhawks over the weekend, although it all didn't quite go as expected.
Vienna did well, and beat both teams, but because of heavy winter weather in North Carolina early in the weekend, Raleigh's home pitch was closed, forcing a change in that game from Saturday to Sunday.
The Clayton girls team worked their way through a tough Carolina Ruggerfest over the weekend, and did it with no margin for error.
Only able to travel with 15 players (including four freshmen), and then picking up one more as a sub, they played four games through the tournament, going 4-0.
Clayton HS will take on the Providence Panthers this coming weekend in the single-school final in North Carolina, and maybe it's a bit of a surprise.
