High School Boys
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.
Rye HS beat Greenwich on the road 12-7 last night.
This was, clearly, a defensive battle and it wasn't until the second half that Greenwich was able to get their lone try.
It was 12-0 at halftime after tries from flanker Andrew Wilmarth and No. 8 Owen Welburn. Archer Fenton converted one of those.
Pendleton is on a roll and perhaps no clearer evidence of that is their imposing victory over Indiana rivals Westside Black Swarm over the weekend.
A year ago these teams went through overtime and their state final was decided on penalty kicks.
Not much in the way of changes over the last two weeks in the Top 10, but there's a lot of change lower down.
Teams that have been relatively idle drop out as various teams that have logged good results and are active come in. This includes F5, Wichita, Moscow, West Valley, and SacPAL.
The Great Northwest Challenge 15-a-side HS select-side tournament is back for 2024 and registration is open.
The tournament will be held June 21-22, 2024, with a USA Rugby Talent ID Day scheduled for June 20. Everything will be held in beautiful Fort Missoula Regional Park in Missoula, Montana.
