GRR: South Carolina
The Greer 76ers Rugby Club won the South Carolina Varsity Boys High School State Championship on Saturday, defeating Oceanside Collegiate Academy 20-14.
The Winter high school season in the Carolinas is designed to be a school-team league, but as some teams are still working toward there, there are two brackets for teams that still draw players from multiple schools, and Wando will take on Hough in one of those finals.
The closest game all season for both the Charlotte Cardinals and Wando Wahines came on December 4, when the two girls HS teams in the Carolinas league faced off.
So it is only fitting that these two will meet again in the final this weekend in Matthews, NC.
After an early start before the winter break, the North Carolina boys High School league gears up for the meat of the season.
For several years the North Carolina Youth Rugby Union has put on a Fall 7s Series – with many players doing both football and rugby.
