Tier II in the Boys HS National Championships certainly showed a separation between one half and the other.
Thunder Rugby Shuts Out DwengerThunder produced plenty of physicality and power and that tested the Bishop Dwenger defense. The more bodies Dwenger put in the clog the middle the more there was space out wide.
St. Joe's Prep is set to meet LaSalle College HS in the Rugby PA Boys D1 final after both won semifinals over the weekend.
LaSalle beat Berks 24-17. LaSalle led 17-14 before Berks was hit with a yellow card. And yet Berks was able to maintain possession and got a penalty, which they kicks to tie the game.
We have some strange results this week and these are results that make you wonder what to do.
Key among these are Highland vs Herriman and Moeller vs St. Edward.
In both instances, the losing team was ranked significantly higher, and lost by a small margin. In both instances, the losing team had, overall, a better record than the winning team—significantly better, really.
This is a bit of a weird week because some teams take a break before major tournaments, others have championships, and still others have finished their seasons.
Highland's defeat of Herriman in the Utah Red Varsity final was a bit of a shocker, but was forshadowed earlier this season.
