GRR: Rugby New York
In its first trip to the New York state championship, Orchard Park finished the final four weekend 2-0, ending with a 33-29 win over reigning girls high school champ Play Rugby Academy for the title.
Xavier HS won the Rugby NY Boys HS championship with an impressive 40-0 defeat of The Harvey School Sunday in Utica, NY.
The perennial state champions had to battle for it a little bit, especially in the early part of the first half.
Here is the latest from the Rugby NY Boys HS playoffs:
Cup Semifinals
Xavier hammered a very solid Kenmore team 59-14 to make the final.
The Harvey School defeated Fairport 40-20 to make it an all-MetNY final.
Xavier and Harvey met previously this season, May 2, with Xavier winning 45-5.
DI Tier 2
Rugby New York is hosting its girls high school state championship this weekend, and three Buffalo-area teams will look to unseat current titleholder Play Rugby Academy over two days in Utica.
Four teams remain in the hunt for a New York state Boys DI championship, as the semifinals will be held this weekend.
The DI championship is named the Mike Tolkin Cup, after the current USA Men’s 15s Coach, who coached Xavier HS for many years, and also helped Xavier to a national championship as a player several million years ago.
