GRR: Okapi Wanderers
The Okapi Wanderers made a big statement this weekend in Florida's HS league, shutting out Cardinal Gibbons 36-0.
Gibbons was the runner-up team in the state in 2022. Okapi beat the state winners, Boca Raton, last week 18-3, meaning they played the top two teams from last season and didn't allow a try.
three teams remain unbeaten in the Florida Boys HS league after Boca Raton, Okapi, and Cardinal Gibbons all won.
Gibbons is the only team with a perfect record, improving to 3-0 after beating the Jacksonville Wolverines 36-10. Both Boca and Okapi have one tie on their record (with each other, naturally).
Some highly-rated HS rugby teams gathered in Charlotte, NC this weekend to celebrate the return to action for the Charlotte RFC’s rugby facility.
The Okapi Wanderers capped their regular season run with their 5th straight victory after losing the in the opening week of the season.
It remains a question as to who will finish the season on top in Florida, but we're starting to get an idea.
