High School Boys
After Day One at the HSRC 7s tournament in the Philadelphia area, some teams have gone as expected, and some have produced a few surprises.
The New Jersey Blaze and West Shore United were both very impressive in going 2-0. The Blaze surprised the Utah Lions, who finished the day 0-2. Doylestown, Greenwich, Perry Street, and Archmere were also convincing winners over two games.
It’s another big weekend for boys HS state championships - here’s a list of them and links to more info:
Were down to two teams in Wisconsin as Pulaski faces Middleton Saturday in the state final.
Minnesota is down to the semis as Hopkins takes on North Shore (Duluth) and Edina faces Minnetonka.
Most of these teams have faced each other this season, but in non-conference games, as they all ended up winning their respective conferences.
Morton High School rode some late-season momentum and a knack for winning close games to the Illinois Boys HS championship this past weekend, edging two of their biggest rivals to get there.
Three teams from the Illinois DI East made the playoffs in Illinois, and they finished 1-2-3, with Arlington, despite a 2-4 regular-season record, defeating Brother Rice for 3rd.
