GRR: Rugby New Jersey
Morris won its first ever New Jersey state HS club title over the weekend, beating Union 34-17 to get there.
Facing a very big and physical Union side, Morris went into the game with a specific game plan:
Make the Union forwards chase the game all over the field;
Emphasize quick ball from the rucks and quick use of that quick ball;
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.
