GRR: Woodlands
The question popped up Saturday night; a question we hadn't pondered at all until then—were the Charlotte Cardinals the first East Coast team to win the HS Club Championships?
Two of the HS Club National Championship Games on Day 1 were all-time classics.
The other two were excellent example of how to stifle an attack and get through the day. Friday now sees Belmont Shore vs The Woodlands in one semi, and Charlotte Cardinals vs San Diego Mustangs in the other.
Texas Team The Woodlands (GRR #2) completed its short Southern California tour with a very impressive 2-0 showing, winning a close one over #1-ranked HS Club Belmont Shore and defeating #11 SOC Raptors in games on Tuesday and Thursday.
Woodlands shut out Strake Jesuit 27-0 Thursday night in Rugby Texas action.
The teams actually played three games, with Woodlands JV winning 52-7, and their D2 teams playing a bit of battle that saw the teams enter halftime tied 0-0. Woodlands ended up holding off Strake in that one 19-12.
The Woodland HS Club returns to Texas with a two-game sweep of Kansas City-area opposition this weekend.
On Saturday, Woodlands defeated the Kansas City Jr. Blues 46-7.
