Big Weekend in Boys HS Rugby A few notes from the last couple of weeks and looking ahead. There was a big result in Northern California that we didn't go over in detail, but it showed the San Mateo Wolverines defeating a very good Elsie Allen side by a fairly emphatic score of 35-12. The Wolverines wanted to be in NorCal's Premier Division but last year was a tough year for them with every game (!) an away game.
Tight Defensive Win for Rye over Greenwich Rye HS beat Greenwich on the road 12-7 last night.
