High School Boys
We did do a video on clubs to keep an eye on, but one team we didn't discuss was Scottsdale.
In fact, we now have four teams from Arizona in the Top 50. There's no guarantee they will all stay, but it seems clear to us at GRR World Headquarters that the state is more competitive than it has been in a while. All of that is good for the game.
The Okapi club out of Southern Florida visited Jesuit New Orleans this past weekend in a cross-board clash.
Jesuit had just dug itself out of a snowstorm, a very rare occurrence for New Orleans, and, yes, it's still early days for both teams. However, it was Okapi's ability to control field position that told the tale, with the Florida team winning 45-5.
For the most part the results we saw among School teams this week were as expected.
Dallas Jesuit put in a very night result, while we weren't sure what to expect in GGA vs Vienna—that ended up being 7-3 for Greg's and we are sort of holding steady for them with that result. It's very early for the cold-weather teams.
Northern California HS rugby just had its busiest weekend of the New Year, with the single-school competition kicking off its opening weekend.
The big game in Southern California saw the top SoCal Youth Rugby single school team against the leading SCIRF team in Cathedral Catholic.
These teams are both feeders for the San Diego Mustangs club, so it was a bit of a Mustangs cup. And in a very, very well-played game played in front of a robust and loud crowd, the teams played to a 28-28 tie.
