High School Boys
On a day marked by looming Washington skies over Highland Middle School, the Eastside Lions Varsity welcomed the touring Granite Bay Rugby Club in what was anticipated to be a thrilling encounter.
Two results out of Northern California HS Rugby turned heads this weekend.
Marin, on a roll and having already logged a couple of notable wins, got by Danville 25-15.
On Day One of the SLUH All-Catholic tournament, we saw some drama.
Two games were very, very close, as St. Thomas Aquinas edged Notre Dame de la Salette 7-0 in a game where both teams had chances.
Later on, St. Xavier needed all they had to beat SLUH 12-11.
In a result that was a bit of a surprise in how close it was, Gonzaga held off St. Ignatius of Cleveland in Brooklyn, Ohio Saturday.
This was a physically punishing match and both teams saw injuries to key players—Gonzaga losing a prop and a flanker and Ignatius losing their sophomore flyhalf with a very high ceiling in Hank McGowan.
St. Ignatius of Cleveland hosts Gonzaga of Washington DC Saturday in Ohio and this is one of the better rivalries in IS rugby.
