High School Boys
The Charlotte Tigers defeated Wando 15-7 to move to 2-0 in the new Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL).
This is the second time that the Tigers have defeated a defending state champ - Wando won South Carolina last spring, and the other team the Tigers beat, the East Cobb Trojans, were Georgia state champs last season.
Here are the Boys HS games this weekend. Check back for scores.
Fifty-two teams will play in the Kickoff Tournament in Sacramento this weekend.
Run by Ray Schwartz, the two-day tournament is a massive event to get the season started for teams from all over Northern California plus a few from elsewhere. This is the 33rd time that the KOT has been held.
The brackets include:
All games in Rugby Arizona's opening weekend have been called off due to weather.
The Rugby Arizona HS league starts action this weekend after a warmup tournament last week.
The Florida Youth Rugby Boys DI league is off and running this weekend, with nine games on the docket.
Orlando is the defending state champs and the Griffins start at the Westside Wolverines. Riviera Beach Maritime Academy logged the best record in the regular season, and will visit Jupiter, which was 2nd in the league last year. That's a high-profile early clash.
