Germantown made a bit of a statement this week with a convincing 32-6 win over St. Louis University High.
Having graduated several senior starters, Germantown (ranked #50 among HS Clubs by GRR) was facing a key test for young players including sophomore flyhalf George Vezina and three freshman starters in flankers Owen Wright and Garret Hagan, and fullback Ryan Winfrey.
This was a very fruitful week with over 30 ranked teams playing games and right around 30 games being between ranked opponents.
