Vienna won their first ever game over in-state rivals Fort Hunt Saturday, riding a torrid start and a disciplined finish to a 33-5 decision.
The victory was for more than bragging rights as the winner was guaranteed a spot at the Boys HS Rugby National Championships. Vienna, which played in Tier 2 of nationals last year, grabbed that opportunity with both hands.
Neuqua defeated South Suburban 27-7 in Rugby Illinois action Friday night.
Both teams started this one with younger lineups forced by a couple of key injuries amid rebuilding seasons. Match conditions weren't conducive to a flowing game with wind gusts up to 40 mph and very soft turf from recent storms that made going a slow, tough, muddy affair.
It's a relatively quiet weekend in Boys HS rugby this week because, of course, it's Easter Weekend.
We're entering Week 3 of the Iowa HS season.
Iowa plays 7s in the Boys HS season in the spring. The Girls HS season is in the fall, and also 7s only.
