GRR: St. Louis University High
The Footybills battled for the Missouri State Championship vs. the KC Jr. Blues at Gans Creek Park in Columbia, Missouri this weekend.
The Kansas City Junior Blues edged St. Louis University High by a slim margin, taking the Missouri state final 15-14 Saturday in a dynamic game that had fans on the edge of their seats.
The St. Louis University High School rugby varsity team, the Footybills, secured a 38-7 victory against the St. Louis Jets on April 27 in a league game that showcased success on both ends of the field.
The SLUH All-Catholic Tournament finished up with a strong performance from St. Thomas Aquinas.
Led by their second row pairing of Jake Ernsting and Carson Kraft, the Saints beat a very good SLUH team 14-3.
St. Louis University High is on tour in Illinois and opened up their tour with a defeat at the hands of Neuqua Friday night.
Neuqua took a very nice step forward after a not-so-great showing at the Carolina Ruggerfest—to be fair they had barely got outside for training before that tournament.
This was a close and well-contested match through 50 minutes.
St. Louis University High hosted the All-Catholic Rugby Festival over the weekend, which included one team from Canada in a contest of four varsity teams and four JV teams.
Finally the weather cooperated (somewhat) for this weekend and the teams faced off over two days.
