GRR: NCYRA
The Hough Huskies finally got to play an actual rugby game in North Carolina's school league Thursday night, and celebrated a win as well.
After their first two opponents canceled on them, the Huskies were able to play against a tough Marvin Ridge side this week.
Despite an early red card to Hough, the Huskies won 27-5.
South Meck moved to 2-0 and made an early statement in North Carolina's single-school league with an emphatic victory over Marvin Ridge.
There is still plenty of rugby to be played, but it's a solid start for South Meck as the Sabres beat Marvin Ridge 22-3.
Marvin Ridge kicked off the scoring with a 30-meter penalty kick. But South Meck answered fairly quickly.
The first two Tier 1 games of the North Carolina school league ended with big wins for the favored teams.
NCYRU limits official listed winning margins to 35, so a 35-0 winning margin could well be larger in reality. But this allows teams to run on reserves once the result is not in doubt.
South Meck beat Clayton with the official score of 35-0 to start the season.
The Ohio Aviators won the Buckeye Invitational boys select side tournament Sunday, and North Carolina took the girls final.
The Aviators ran out two teams through the weekend and the younger group, the Red team, was really quite useful and almost beat Celtic Elite on Saturday.
The Hough Huskies capped off an undefeated season in North Carolina's single-school competition with a 40-10 defeat of Marvin Ridge Saturday in the league's championship game.
