Dallas Jesuit and Strake Jesuit move on in their winning ways in Rugby Texas, while the Woodlands also looked strong this weekend.
The Rangers of Dallas Jesuit got two tries from Charlie Freeman and tries from Robert Triantos, Marshal Neri, Brennan Graham, and lock Alex Johnson in a 36-17 defeat of Lake Travis to move to 3-0. It was the Rangers first win over Lake Travis since 2018.
The San Diego Mustangs made the trip to Arizona to take on Tempe Saturday, and came away with a nice 27-19 win.
Tempe has started very well and cone a game on Thursday, beating Tucson 39-21 in a game they led 39-0 at halftime before running in the changes. But the Mustangs, getting the OK from SoCal Youth Rugby to tour, was a different proposition.
The Tropical 7s week, which culminates in the tournament April 2-3, is looking nicely put together, but there are still spots open.
As more regions become more open to training and play, more teams are able to get themselves ready.
It's a tight race in the Louisiana HS league as both games this weekend were decided by a try or less, and in fact three of the four league games this year have been that close.
This week, St. Paul's opened their season with a nicely-taken 33-26 defeat of the Bayou Hurricanes. That put Bayou at 0-2-1 although the Hurricanes have certainly played some good rugby.
The Charlotte Tigers put a tenacious St. Ignatius to the sword Saturday, beating the Wildcats 46-7 in an early-season high rankings clash.
The Tigers had played one weekend of shortened games, while St. Ignatius was playing its first gamer in about a year as the two teams met in Morgantown, WV to kick-start their season.
