High School Boys
Around the nation in HS Rugby so far ...
Tri-State AreaGreenwich of Connecticut defeated Rye of New York 27-14. It was a tough, competitive game in which Rye wasn't helped by a red card (two yellow-card-worthy high tackles).
Staples HS produced a big result in Connecticut, getting by a very tough Aspetuck team 16-14.
The game was described as a slugfest by Staples Head Coach Neal Seideman. For a young Aspetuck team, they found themselves relying on speedster Pearson Hill once more but they needed more than one or two players to defeat the state's top teams.
St. Ignatius of Cleveland defeated St. Xavier 62-12 Saturday on a very, very windy day in Ohio.
Ignatius used defensive pressure as much as anything else to get the job done, pushing St. X back and forcing turnovers and errors simply by making tackles. With players such as Cole Sutkus, Pat Cooney, and Michael Krebs they produced scoring chances early.
April approaches ferociously in HS rugby.
We will see several teams take trips and, frankly, we think your team should think about a tour too. Check with Irish Rugby Tours about how that can happen.
This weekend, though, we have plenty of action with about 13 all-rankings clashes.
The US Rugby Foundation and USA Youth & High School Rugby have partnered in an effort to increase the number of high school rugby programs throughout the United States.
