GRR: Strake Jesuit
Dallas Jesuit won the Texas/Louisiana Varsity Cup final Saturday night, defeating Strake Jesuit 27-14 to take the title and end their season undefeated.
The game was, at one point, 27-0, but two late Strake tries made it a little closer. In some sense, it was only right, as the game always seemed closer than 27-0.
Strake Jesuit defeated St. Thomas 50-10 Tuesday evening to round out the Texas/Louisiana Varsity Cup playoff bracket.
With a couple of seniors unavailable for the game, Strake had to pull Jackson Hebert into the starting scrumhalf position. Hebert excelled on the day and even capped off the day at flyhalf.
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.
Is Lake Travis back as a contender in Texas? The answer is probably yes and perhaps more so with a loss this past weekend than an opening win the week before.
Strake Jesuit defeated Lake Travis 40-24 in Texas league play and that was a good win for Strake, but it was also a bit of notice that Lake Travis is right there.
St. Thomas of Houston opened up their season with a 43-21 defeat of Faith Family Academy in Texas.
With a lot of new players and several new coaches this is a bit of a new chapter for St. Thomas. They started eight sophomores and the game plan and lineup were, said Head Coach James Wolfinger, was a bit of an eperiment.
