GRR: Highland Rugby
In the last two weeks East HS in Utah has beaten the defending state D2 champs (Brighton, now in D1), and the defending state single-school champs (Highland).
Highland's defeat of Herriman in the Utah Red Varsity final was a bit of a shocker, but was forshadowed earlier this season.
Highland and Herriman are set up for the Utah Youth Rugby school final, and it's an interesting rivalry.
Utah Youth Rugby enters its multi-tiered playoffs this weekend with a few questions to answer.
How good is Highland?
Opposition, namely Herriman's Director of Rugby, has spoken in complimentary tones on what Highland has been able to accomplish. Finishing the Red Conference (school teams) 3-1 and having beaten Olympus, Mountain Ridge, and East, seems to back that up.
Herriman defeated Highland 31-14 on Friday night at Herriman High School in a high-level clash of Utah teams.
