HSAA Players Learning What's RequiredIt might be fair to say that the High School All American coaches were a little taken aback by their team’s scrimmage loss to Cordoba Academy. This was, after all, a Cordoba team that the Americans had beaten in 2013, so what gives with the 48-3 loss? There were reasons, for sure.
Tough Job Ahead for HSAA Team
The USA”s High School All Americans will play Argentina’s U18s without hard-charging flanker Hanco Germishuys, who has been ruled out due to an ankle injury.
The HSAA team is coming off a 48-3 loss to Cordoba Academy, but that was a game treated as a scrimmage by Salty Thompson and his coaching staff.
Thompson used his entire 30-man roster.
Rough Start for HSAA Team
The High School All Americans lost their opening match of their four-game South American trip 48-8 to Cordoba Academy.
Returning HSAA Players Set Tone
Leadership is an important factor in the early stages of a national team tour, especially with a team that has to handle turnover, such as the High School All Americans.
Head Coach Salty Thompson certainly expects his more experienced players to establish the tone.
