High School Boys
Arizona held its DI and DII Boys HS semifinals this past weekend.
In DII, Old Pueblo defeated Hamilton in a game that was tight early on but Old Pueblo ran away with it late to win 50-24. The second semifinal was a lot closer, with North Valley, only a year removed from playing in the DII final, facing new team East Valley. North Valley prevailed 27-22.
In their first league game as a varsity sport, the Pelham HS rugby team defeated a solid Fordham Prep squad 40-22.
Cumberland Valley had all sorts of problems with Rugby Pennsylvania rivals COnestoga and needed a last-second penalty goal from flyhalf Alex Spenceley to win Sunday's game 18-17.
This game was a rematch of the 2014 state semifinal won by Cumberland Valley. Both teams entered the match undefeated in league play.
Notre Dame De La Salette claimed an impressive victory over the weekend as the Illinois school that plays in Indiana defeated Chicago's Brother Rice 45-0.
The playoff matchups are all set in Florida Youth Rugby’s Boys HS leagues as this past weekend’s results solidified who won their pools.
