GRR: North Carolina
Teams from the Carolinas are on the rise. A quick glance through this publication’s single school and club rankings and you will see more than a handful of teams from that region. The area in and around Charlotte, NC in particular has more than a dozen high school teams in action this season. One of those teams, you might not have heard much about…yet.
Charlotte Catholic opened their 2017 campaign with a trip to Wilmington, NC to face off against the Cape Fear Flytraps.
The Chapel Hill Highlanders opened up their defense of the North Carolina HS club championship with a 42-5 defeat of Clayton.
Lots of rugby to be played in Boys HS action this weekend.
The Charlotte Tigers defeated Wando 15-7 to move to 2-0 in the new Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL).
This is the second time that the Tigers have defeated a defending state champ - Wando won South Carolina last spring, and the other team the Tigers beat, the East Cobb Trojans, were Georgia state champs last season.
