High School Boys
The Boys HS Rugby National Championships list of teams has been confirmed.
For more on this, go here.
The teams are, as always, being selected by a panel of coaches. Those coaches look at the applicants' ability to show up, pay for travel, and compete.
Xavier HS followed up on a decent showing against Fort Hunt (a 5-5 tie) with a 55-19 defeat of Doylestown Sunday evening.
St. Edward and Gregory the Great met up on the campus of Saint Bonaventure University for a preseason game.
It turned out to be a big day for St. Edward, as the Ohio school beat the Pennsylvania school 74-12.
Illinois HS team Neuqua came out of a trip to St. Xavier (OH) with two victories.
Neuqua defeated Penn HS 14-10 in what can only be called a major upset.
Jesuit HS of Sacramento moved to 2-0 in the Rugby NorCal Premier league after a 41-10 defeat of Granite Bay.
Meanwhile, Lamorinda put in an impressive performance to beat SFGG 30-24.
Lamo led 22-0 led by some excellent work from Oteti Vehikite and Daniel Vete. Three sophomores started for Lamorinda in flanker Liam Varela, lock Zane Saldivar, and scrumhalf Nick Pierson.
