High School Boys
The Lindenwood Tournament returned this weekend with six top HS teams in action Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, despite chilly and snowy conditions at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., all of the games were held.
Fort Hunt, the #1-ranked HS club, defeated the #3 single-school team Gonzaga Saturday in a tense, physical game.
The run of play mostly favored Gonzaga, but Fort Hunt got two crucial early tries, held on desperately in defense despite two yellow cards, and won 19-12.
The Union County Lions defeated the Charlotte Tigers 32-15 in a huge North Carolina and MSIRL clash.
Both teams went into the game unbeaten, and both teams were missing players due to this being an SAT exam weekend. While this was a North Carolina Youth Rugby league game, it was also part of the new Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL).
The San Diego Mustangs opened up their spring 2017 season with a very impressive 64-7 defeat of Red Mountain.
The game was played on a beautiful Friday night at Grand Canyon University's rugby field, and was tight for the first ten minutes or so.
It’s not easy for the Little Rock Junior Stormers to get some notice, if only because they are the only high school rugby team in Arkansas.
That seems a little weird given that Arkansas has two very strong college teams, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
