High School Boys
The 2015 Boys High School Rugby National Championship will be held on May 14-16, 2015.
The location of the 2015 tournament will be selected in the coming weeks, although the smart money is on an East Coast location. It has been confirmed that Elkart, Ind., which hosted the tournament the last two years, will not host in 2015.
Hanco Germishuys may have been spending much of his summer on roofs, but that doesn’t mean he’s reached his ceiling. As he waits for a chance to try out with Gloucester, the HS All American and USA U20 flanker is working with his father’s roofing company in Nebraska. It’s hard, and often sun-scorching work, but it’s keeping him balanced for rugby opportunities ahead.
This past Sunday, the Pelham Youth Rugby hosted the Manhattan Youth RFC in a series of games born out of a rivalry that is now five years old.
The two programs both started as youth programs and have expanded to include older age brackets as their kids have aged. SO now the meeting of the clubs involves U12s, U14s, U16s, and U18s.
When USA Rugby stopped running a Boys National HS Championships and a new, privately run invitational was formed instead, the panel of teams involved voted to liberalize the substitution rules.
