North Carolina’s single-school leagues looks like it might go down to the Providence Panthers vs the Capitals from Broughton HS, but those coaches aren’t so sure.
There are still a couple of very tough games to get through.
Less than two weeks remain for registration for the Carolina Ruggerfest in Charlotte.
Currently 79 teams are registered in seven brackets from U10 to High School (boys and girls) from 13 states as well as Canada.
One of the most competitive leagues in Men’s DII College Rugby has to be the Southern Conference Premier League, but on team is shaking up that notion early on.
The conference split this year into a top tier and a second tier, and the result it, no one gets an easy game.
The Charlotte Tigers followed up on their 3rd-place finish at the Boys HS Rugby National Championships with a 48-24 defeat of the Raleigh Redhawks to win the North Carolina state HS club championships.
The Tigers B side also won the Tier 2 championship.
The Charlotte Tigers defeated the Raleigh Redhawks 41-35 Saturday to secure the top seed in the North Carolina Youth Rugby Boys HS Club playoffs.
The Tigers benefited from some solid work from twins Drius and Donovan Law, who had just been off with the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy team in the Tropical 7s.
