High School Boys
Along with Rugby NY, several other high school rugby competitions are gearing up this weekend.
After a bit of a soft launch, Minnesota sees four games scheduled for Friday (although one game appears to be a forfeit). Albert Lea, Becker, and Eagan have all started well in an eight-team league, although Southside is probably going to struggle to field a full side.
We honor over a dozen players for their contributions in Boys HS Rugby this week.
We have several players recognized for doing the unglamourous work of making tackles, securing possession, and contesting rucks, but there are some flashier players, too. Have a look.
Rugby New York's Boys High School season starts this coming weekend.
Met NY will see all teams play in the same division, with seven teams in action:
Fordham Prep
New Rochelle HS
Pelham HS
Playrugby ACADEMY
Rockaway Club
St Anthony's HS
Rye HS
(Xavier HS is playing an independent schedule)
This was a very weird HS Club Rankings week.
While the top six remain unchanged because they all performed as expected, and perhaps even a bit better than expected, the rest of the Top 50 got a shakeup for a number of reasons:
1. Teams that have been idle a relatively long time lose traction.
This week sees massive changes in the Boys School rankings.
First of all, we've got to acknowledge that a couple of teams we'd been ranking as school teams are actually clubs and we're moving them over —Layton Christian and St. Charles Prep. We know, the names indicate they are single-school teams, but they're not.
