GRR: Rugby Texas
Jesuit HS of Dallas hosts the Jesuit Dallas Showdown this weekend with eight teams from three states and one Canadian territory.
The tournament will cover two days and three matches in a bracket format, with every opening game featuring a Jesuit school against a non-Jesuit team or a Canadian .
Led by an exceptional game by HS All American Bobby Butchofsky, the Westlake Chaps defeated a previously-unbeaten Dallas Jesuit squad 25-5 this past weekend to improve to 3-0 in Texas Rugby’s North Central Division.
So early in the season we’ve still got two of the top Texas Boys HS teams facing off this weekend, as Dallas Jesuit (3-0) plays 2-0 Westlake.
Dallas Jesuit is actually 5-0, having beaten Memorial and Strake Jesuit in non-league games, as well as defeating Plano, Richardson, and Alliance. Only the Alliance game was particularly decisive.
The Texas Boys HS league begins in earnest this weekend, and on the single-school side state champs Westlake are already looking strong.
Westlake took on 2014 club champs Woodlands in a preseason warmup this past weekend, and Westlake won convincingly 56-0.
