GRR: South Carolina
South Greenville came back from a 20-0 deficit to overcome Wando 26-20 in a battle of undefeated HS teams in South Carolina.
Both teams have logged several shutouts during the season, so giving up points is a rarity for them.
Wando started the game well, going up 20-0 at halftime.
Wando remains undefeated in South Carolina after beating one of their chief rivals, Chapin, 47-0, and then defeated a Canadian touring team 21-17.
On Saturday, Phoenix Alpharetta played South Greenville in an eagerly anticipated meeting of ranked high school clubs.
It's a busy weekend around the country in Boys HS rugby, as some leagues are getting started, and others heading into playoff-decision time; here's a look:
Wando's place as #1 in South Carolina isn't so much of a surprise to observers, but few would have expected the Mount Pleasant school team to have shut out all four of their league opponents.
In any competition, that takes some doing. Wando Head Coach Tod Shepherd joked that it was luck, but he also knows it's partly by design.
