High School Boys
Spring breaks are over for some and starting for others in HS rugby.
But we do have a couple of tournament that make this end of March especially interesting.
FairfieldFor many the Fairfield Tournament is really a preseason warmup, and as such the teams will run unlimited subs. But this is still a stern early test for a number of Northeast teams.
New Orleans Jesuit wrapped up a good week with two wins, beating HCYA and East Jefferson over the weekend.
IN a few weeks St. Ignatius plays Xavier and, of things keep going the way they've been going, the winner of that game will be #1.
Right now Ignatius (as well as Gonzaga and, recently, St. Thomas Aquinas) are on tour overseas. That's good for the teams but difficult to judge for the rankings.
The game of greatest note this week had to have been #5 San Diego Mustangs over #3 Belmont Shore.
This is one of those games where we strongly suspected the outcome would be what it was (29-5 for the Mustangs) but had no evidence to back it up because of how the schedule falls in SoCal. We just had to wait.
The top-ranked HS clubs in GRR's Top 50 were in important action over the weekend.
The #1-ranked Charlotte Cardinals defeated an injury-hit Richmond Strikers in emphatic fashion 58-7. This was the general MO of a pretty polished Cardinals side that has been winning games by wide margins since club action began.
