High School Boys
We're about to enter the SoCal club season, which will have an effect on the top end of our HS Club Top 50.
With the North Carolina school season being done, we've got the Carolina Ruggerfest a little over a week from now, and the Puriri Memorial Invitational this coming weekend.
Since the beginning of the Southern California school season, Los Alamitos was in the conversation.
But, as we saw throughout the December-through-February season, there were a lot of close games at the top, which meant the playoffs were somewhat up in the air. Los Al lost to Torrey Pines on December 15 by the score of 15-12.
The Puriri Memorial Invitational is set for this coming weekend in St. George, Utah.
This tournament is a traditional kickoff tournament for teams in Utah and in neighboring states. For the past few years this tournament has been named in honor of Ra Puriri, the father of longtime Utah HS coaches Colin and Michael Puriri.
The Woodland HS Club returns to Texas with a two-game sweep of Kansas City-area opposition this weekend.
On Saturday, Woodlands defeated the Kansas City Jr. Blues 46-7.
Indiana's Pendleton swept their games at the President's Cup tournament in Tennessee over the weekend.
Father Ryan, 901, and Raptors Rugby from Tennessee along with St. Xavier HS from Ohio and Pendleton from Indiana convened on Knoxville, Tenn. to play shortened games against each other.
