Boys HS Games Jan 27-29
Here are the matchups in Boys HS rugby this weekend.
Last weekend was rained out completely in Arizona, so this will be the opening weekend. We did check in with a couple of teams last week, but there's little to add right now.
Union County Pulls Away from East Cobb
Union County downed the East Cobb Trojans 32-15 Saturday in cold, wet conditions in Georgia.
This was a Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) game, and an important one for both. The game was 10-8 in favor of Union County (out of North Carolina), and 15-15 with about 12 minutes to go. But then Union County opened it up for three late tries to put the game away.
Charlotte Tigers to 2-0 in MSIRL
The Charlotte Tigers defeated Wando 15-7 to move to 2-0 in the new Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL).
This is the second time that the Tigers have defeated a defending state champ - Wando won South Carolina last spring, and the other team the Tigers beat, the East Cobb Trojans, were Georgia state champs last season.
Tigers v Wando Highlights MSIRL Weekend
Six teams in the Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) are in action this weekend as the new cross-border competition heats up.
Phoenix Holds On in MSIRL Clash
Georgia's Phoenix club battled through for a 30-26 win over Columbia Area (aka Irmo) in the third game of the Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) this weekend.
In a game played in good conditions after some rough winter weather in the region in previous days, neither team could pull too far ahead.
