High School Boys
Regis Jesuit will host a series of games in Denver in a week.
This will be the first annual Holy Classic Rugby Showcase. St. Thomas Aquinas is due to tour, so Valor has been invited to join and the three teams will all play each other.
"This will become an annual event in Denver and we hope to grow it quickly," said Regis Jesuit Head Coach Ethan Pougnet.
We're waiting, impatiently really, for the Southern California teams to get going and we're reluctant to drop them down because the bulk of those teams have been playing in single-school competition.
And the Raptors, at least, will be in action this week and we're interested to see how that goes.
We debated for a while the idea of moving St. Ignatius up to #2 or #1.
However, a couple of things prevented that: 1) Herriman won pretty well and so there was no reason to move them back; 2) St. Ignatius and Gonzaga play this weekend. So, instead of making a preemptive judgment on that upcoming game, we'll wait to see what's what.
In the last two weeks East HS in Utah has beaten the defending state D2 champs (Brighton, now in D1), and the defending state single-school champs (Highland).
Here's a look at high school boys rugby around the nation.
