High School Boys

It’s a big game for Greenwich, which has run into some tough games of late - losing to Fort Hunt in the Jesuit Rugby Classic, and losing to Fairfield Pegasi in Conecticutt.
In a very close, perhaps surprisingly close, clash in the MAVRC HS conference, #1 single-school Gonzaga had to come back to beat #13 Georgetown 20-10 Thursday night.
Gonzaga had the run of play for much of the first half but made a series of execution errors that made it difficult to score.
The Black Hawks HS Rugby Club out of Las Vegas, a new team this year, hosted Cranbrook HS out of Sydney, Australia this week, and won in a thriller.
It was an impressive victory for Black Hawks, and Coach Leonard Nell said he was exceedingly proud of his team's performance.
Not a lot of changes in the Boys HS Club Rankings for this week, although we do have a couple of new teams; Hilo Reign comes in after winning a playoff game in Hawaii, and West Carroll belatedly comes in after beating the ranked Maryland Exiles.
