GRR: Xavier HS
Staples finished in the top four in the 2021 Boys HS Rugby National Championships and this year are eager to show that wasn't a one-off.
The Connecticut school team is looking to play at Nationals again and so it wasn't surprising to see them take on a ranked out-of-state team in their opener.
We provide opportunities for promising players to improve their skills through scholarships, awards, and Pathways Grants for domestic and international player development.
Staples defeated Xavier HS 21-12 Sunday, controlling possession for much of the game.
In a clash between two school teams that have a long and stories rivalry, Gonzaga HS defeated Xavier 19-0.
Gonzaga's defensive effort was very strong, and it had to be as Xavier threatened to score several times and camped out on the Gonzaga tryline for about eight minutes.
In something of a momentous clash of highly-regarded high school teams, Aspetuck rode a dominant second half to come back and defeat Xavier High School 41-17 Saturday in West Haven, Conn.
