High School Boys
In a clash of unbeaten boys HS teams in Louisiana, St Paul's was handed a convincing defeat by the now 3-0 Brother Martin Saturday.
St. Paul's played a tough match and in fact had Brother Martin on their heels early on, but the Brother Martin goal line defense held firm and forced a knock-on to keep it 0-0.
More and more high school leagues are getting started, and Utah Youth Rugby kicks off this weekend two weeks after the Ra Puriri Invitational, which was a nice warmup for teams in Utah and Arizona.

St. Ignatius No. 8 Marty Lenehan had one of those moments this past weekend in his team's loss to the Charlotte Tigers. Lenehan, trying to light a fire under his team went on a bullocking run down the right side was grabbed and ... lost his shirt.
Advocating and working with other sports can help rugby get back on the field, especially for high school teams and leagues.
