High School Boys
In a meeting of the #1 Boys school team and the #4 HS Club, Gonzaga defeated the Charlotte Cardinals 36-27 on the campus of Hampden-Sydney College Saturday.
Charlotte capitalized on some Gonzaga handling errors in the Eagles' 22 and ran out to an early 15-5 lead.
St. Louis University High is on tour in Illinois and opened up their tour with a defeat at the hands of Neuqua Friday night.
Neuqua took a very nice step forward after a not-so-great showing at the Carolina Ruggerfest—to be fair they had barely got outside for training before that tournament.
This was a close and well-contested match through 50 minutes.
Oregon and RugbyPA kick off this week, which is nice to see and they've got a robust league this season.
More regular-season games are cropping up in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio as well. So the colder climes are heating up a bit.
Texas Team The Woodlands (GRR #2) completed its short Southern California tour with a very impressive 2-0 showing, winning a close one over #1-ranked HS Club Belmont Shore and defeating #11 SOC Raptors in games on Tuesday and Thursday.
Bixby of Oklahoma won the Mid-South tournament hosted at Southern Nazarene University over the weekend.
It was a tournament of teams from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and Missouri. For Bixby, this was an excellent chance to give many players varsity experience.
