GRR: Rugby New York
City Honors won the Western New York Girls HS championship this past weekend, rolling over a very solid Orchard Park team 52-12.
The coaches in the Western New York girls league voted for their all-region team after this past weekend's playoffs.
Champions City Honors put five players on the team, but runners-up Orchard Park added three in a list of honored players that drew names from eight different teams.
Girls All-Western New York Selections:
Pelham HS improved to 3-1 in New York with a convincing 86-14 defeat of the Harvey School.
Along with Rugby NY, several other high school rugby competitions are gearing up this weekend.
After a bit of a soft launch, Minnesota sees four games scheduled for Friday (although one game appears to be a forfeit). Albert Lea, Becker, and Eagan have all started well in an eight-team league, although Southside is probably going to struggle to field a full side.
Rugby New York's Boys High School season starts this coming weekend.
Met NY will see all teams play in the same division, with seven teams in action:
Fordham Prep
New Rochelle HS
Pelham HS
Playrugby ACADEMY
Rockaway Club
St Anthony's HS
Rye HS
(Xavier HS is playing an independent schedule)
