GRR: Penn HS
Penn HS hosted the Penn Invitational Saturday at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind., with over 500 fans seeing 12 games played.
Penn dominated, as expected, with their Varsity, JV, and Freshman teams going 5-0. The Kingsmen scored 251 points while allowing 18 in the five games.
It was honors even as three top-ranked Boys HS teams convened on Cleveland play this weekend.
On Friday, Penn, defeated St. Ignatius 22-14 (see report).
On Saturday, Xavier took down Penn 24-14.
Penn HS defeated St. Ignatius in a close game between the two Midwestern powers Friday night.
St. Ignatius led much of the game and held a 14-5 lead into the midpoint of the second half. But then Dan Afa'ese scored a try for Penn, and then Sam Scholtes nudged Penn ahead 15-14 with a penalty goal with about four minutes to go.
Penn HS ran the table in the Lindenwood High School tournament held at Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Mo. this weekend.
The tournament was a good kickoff for teams in the Midwest, and mercifully, it wasn’t a snow-fest like last year.
Eight programs entered varsity teams, while six also entered JV teams. Indiana-based Penn won both brackets, not losing a game.
On Day One of the two-day Lindenwood High School tournament, Penn HS of Indiana has looked very strong.
