GRR: HS Girls
The Rugby Washington Boys and Girls Loggers All-Star Rugby Program has announced a partnership with the Seattle Saracens, one of the nation’s top men’s and women’s clubs in both 15s and 7s, designed to provide coaching and logistical support for elite high school rugby in Washington State.
The Plano girls team went into the Texas Girls HS 7s championships knowing they had a big hill to climb.
Kingwood entered that same tournament undefeated over the season, and when Plano lost one of their pool games, 7-5 to HEB, it looked as if Kingwood might roll.
So much for predictions.
The Girls High School Single-School Nationals, hosted at Lindenwood University and sanctioned by USA Rugby, has set their schedule for the weekend of May 21-22 and confirmed all participating teams.
The 14 teams competing from around the Nation in the inaugural tournament are the following:
Broken Arrow High School, Oklahoma
The Kahuku girls team defeated Hilo 23-17 Saturday to win the Hawaii Girls HS championship.
Hilo came into the final having won the last three state championships. Bolstered by some talent from Kona, such as Maraea Guzman, Kapoina Bailey, Nayeli Kahalewai, and Erica Larsen, the Reign defeated Kalihi 21-12 in Friday's semifinal.
Hilo and Kahuku will face off the gor Hawaii Girls state rugby title Saturday.
