High School Boys
So early in the season we’ve still got two of the top Texas Boys HS teams facing off this weekend, as Dallas Jesuit (3-0) plays 2-0 Westlake.
Dallas Jesuit is actually 5-0, having beaten Memorial and Strake Jesuit in non-league games, as well as defeating Plano, Richardson, and Alliance. Only the Alliance game was particularly decisive.
Two of the top single-school teams in Northern California clashed Wednesday night in a midweek encounter as Jesuit took on Dixon.
Both were unbeaten in early play, so this was a big statement game for both.
It was a tough game, with Dixon causing Jesuit some trouble and forcing them into mistakes, but Jesuit was able to score twice to lead 14-5 at halftime.
The moment came after Brian Nault scored a try against Upright Rugby Rogues in pool play at the HS Elite 7s at the LVI. The Shelton, Wash. 15s loose forward and 7s prop had scored an uncharacteristic try for the HS All Americans, bursting down the sidelines like a wing after being set up nicely by his teammates.
In one of the more intriguing results coming out of the Las Vegas Invitational was a 15s challenge match between the Kahuku Raiders out of Hawaii, and United HS out of Utah.
