GRR: North Carolina
The Chapel Hill Highlanders and Union County Lions won semifinal games this weekend to make the North Carolina HS Club final next week.
It was a physical clash between Union and the Charlotte Tigers. Union County is a relatively young team and over the season that group has been coming together.
Charlotte Catholic and the Chapel Hill Highlanders continued on their winning ways in North Carolina.
Catholic defeated the Hough Huskies 57-0 and remain undefeated in the Single-School league where Myers Park sits 7-1 and atop the division.
The Highlanders, too, are unbeaten, and recorded a 47-7 defeat of the North Meck Vikings to go 4-0.
As the North Carolina HS Boys Club season hits the home stretch, everything is on the line for the Chapel Hill Highlanders, Union County Lions, and CJRA Charlotte Tigers.
The Chapel Hill Highlanders continued their winning ways in North Carolina with a 34-28 defeat of a tenacious Union County Lions Saturday.
The game was played for the Maxwell Trophy, named after Paul Maxwell, a pioneer of Carolina Youth Rugby and former Head Coach of Union County. It’s a challenge trophy between the two teams, and Union County has held it the last few years.
It was yet another win for the Chapel Hill Highlanders in North Carolina, as they beat the Southern Pines Gators 41-5.
The win makes the Highlanders 3-0 in North Carolina HS Club league play.
