GRR: Greenwich HS
This has been a strange season for rivals Staples and Greenwich.
The two teams ended up facing off three times and came awfully close to making it four. Their first meeting was a regular-season game which Staples won 28-16. Their next meeting was at HS National Championships, where Greenwich garnered revenge with a 30-12 result.
Greenwich HS will face off with Staples HS in the Rugby Connecticut Boys HS final Thursday night after both won semifinals over the past few days.
Staples HS defeated Greenwich in a defensive battle 10-5 in Rugby Connecticut action.
In the 18-year history of Staples Rugby, they have never beaten Greenwich, until this weekend.
After taking 3rd place in Tier 2 at the Boys High School Nationals tournament in Salt Lake City, Utah, Aspetuck Valley Rugby Club defeated Simsbury HS and Greenwich HS to win the Connecticut State Championships.
The final, 20-12 over Greenwich, was considered something of an upset, as Greenwich has generally dominated the Nutmeg State in HS rugby for years.
