GRR: North Carolina
The High School 15s season is beginning this weekend.
Oh, sure, not for everyone; not even for most. But it’s starting in North Carolina and Southern California’s CIF league will be kicking off in a couple of weeks also.
The North Carolina girls team controlled their own destiny throughout this past weekend’s NorthState Tournament in Greensboro, NC, winning all four games and allowing just three tries in the process.
The North Carolina Blue team beat NC Grey 57-0, Atlantis 15-7, Ohio 20-0, and Valkyries out of Georgia 29-12.

OhioSt. Ignatius still leads well in Rugby Ohio’s boys 7s.
Charlotte Cardinals beat Charlotte Tigers 50-7 to secure their third successive North Carolina State Championship.
In the semifinals, these teams dispatched the Raleigh Redhawks and Clayton Cobras respectively, and this was a high quality contest as one would expect in a state final.
Charlotte Cardinals beat cross-city rivals Charlotte Tigers 43-7 Saturday with a dominant second half display.
It was a well-contested, physical, and high-quality contest with no quarter asked or given as one would expect from a top-tier local rivalry.
