GRR: Rugby Texas
Lamar came back from a 19-3 halftime deficits to beat Memorial 37-19 in Texas league play.
As has been their problem for much of the season, Lamar struggled to convert pressure into points early in the game. But in the second half, captain Fischer Wheat - normally a flanker but moved to flyhalf - fired up the team with an impassioned speech, and suddenly the tries started to come.
St Thomas of Houston hosted Kingwood Friday evening in Rugby Texas play, and came away with an impressive 41-19 victory.
Jesuit HS of Dallas hosts the Dallas Jesuit Showdown this weekend, with four teams facing off in the Varsity level, and four more in JV.
All games will be played at Postell Stadium at Jesuit HS.
Jesuit Dallas faces off with Jesuit New Orleans in the first game. Katy HS plays Christian Brothers out of Memphis. Those teams will play a round robin through the weekend.
When Goff Rugby Report profiles Bronson Teles back in September, the reason was that he was not only a talented player, but a leader, and a smart young man - and it seemed you agree.
In our first Fans Poll of the Player of the Month, fans voted the Katy Barbarians flanker/lock for the honor. So Bronson Teles is our Fan’s Player of the Month for February.
Dallas Jesuit made the long trip down I-45 to Houston to play a friendly in the Bishops Cup against St. Thomas, and in a very physical clash, it was the Dallas team that came out on top, 21-17.
St. Thomas was missing four starters, but battled hard nonetheless, while Jesuit was resilient, patient, and disciplined in their approach.
