GRR: St. Ignatius
St. Ignatius of Cleveland won the Rugby Ohio Boys HS 7s on Sunday, but despite the final score of the final it wasn’t an easy run.
The tournament was a straight bracket, with eight teams in a quarterfinal, followed by cup semifinals and consolation semifinals, and then the placement games.
The quarterfinal matchups were:
Walnut Hills vs Highland
The St. Ignatius High School Wildcats claimed victory in the Ohio high School Varsity State Championship Final against St. Xavier with a final score of 26-15.
Gonzaga College High Schools national championship record reached a high point this weekend.
There is no doubt they are the best school team in the country. Some teams get close, but when we’re talking single-school teams, we’re talking Gonzaga.
The top seeds generally played like it at the Boys HS National Championships single-school bracket.
The only lower seed to win was St. Edward, and that was in the matchup of #4 and #5.
St. Ignatius met Xavier HS of New York Saturday on the campus of Penn State University for four games between their Varsity A, Varsity B, JV, and Freshmen teams.
