GRR: North Carolina
The North Carolina High School season kicked off on Friday with over a dozen teams on the slate.
We crowned a few state champions over the weekend and learned who will be battling for a couple more.
In addition, we had a couple of key games that likely have an effect on HS National Championship seedings. Here's a look.
Marvin Ridge defeated Hough 27-5 to win North Carolina's single-school championship, capping off a season in a battle of two potent offenses and two strong defenses.
Hough Rugby and Marvin Ridge will face off in the final in North Carolina's single-school next week after both won semifinals this weekend.
Hough exploded for a convincing 45-5 victory over Laney HS. Under Head Coach Bruce Colson, who handles the set piece and forwards, and Coach Mathieu Lesgourgues, who has added some French flair to their attack, Hough found their rhythm.
North Carolina's single-school season is almost at its culmination with this weekend's semifinals taking us one step closer to a champion.
