GRR: Gonzaga
In a meeting of the two defending Boys NIT champions, 2015 single-school winner Gonzaga HS defeated 2015 HS club winner Royal Irish 15-13 at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia Saturday.
It’s another meeting of champions Saturday as, for the second year in a row, defending single-school NIT winner Gonzaga faces defending HS club NIT winner Royal Irish in an early game.
It may be a shade too early for both - we’ll see - as Gonzaga has just had a couple of scrimmages, and Royal Irish has not played at all.
Top-ranked single-school team Gonzaga opens up its season this weekend against well-regarded Virginia program West End.
Gonzaga HS in the DC area is once again hosting the Jesuit Rugby Classic at Morven Park (http://www.morvenparksports.org/Fields/626605.html) in Leesburg, Va.
Now two-time national single-school champions, Gonzaga can perhaps lay claim certainly lay definitive claim on being the best high school rugby team in the country.
