GRR: Rugby New Jersey
Champions were crowned and championship matchups were decided in Boys HS rugby this weekend and here's a look at what happened outside of the HS National Championships.
Some Boys HS results of note around the nation.
The big one, of course, was Okapi over Woodlands. In a very tight game neither team scored until the 20th minute. For both teams, this was something of a shocker. Woodlands generally scored at least 40 in every game and they often score early. For Okapi to hold them scoreless until the 26th minute was surprising.
St Augustine Prep won the 2022 Rugby NJ Series Championship in the state's U19 bracket and also won the state championship in both the U19 and U16 brackets.
This is the first time that the Hermits have won those titles except the U19 finals, which they have won four times.
The Christian Brothers Academy Colts won the Morris 7s tournament in Rugby New Jersey's fall 7s season this pst weekend.
The Colts showcased a solid defense in getting through Highland 28-0, St Augustine 20-10, and Play Rugby 17-5 to make the final.
St. Augustine, however, won their semifinal and were back for a rematch in the final.
LaSalle College High School defeated Berks to take the first Rugby Pennsylvania boys 7s tournament of the fall.
Both Berks and LaSalle were undefeated going into the final.
"We certainly made plenty of mistakes," said LaSalle Head Coach Jessica Nedzwecky, "but we can only continue to improve throughout the season, as we did with each game on Sunday."
