High School Boys
The Georgia Boys High School state championships kick off Saturday with the chance for a shakeup in the hierarchy.
It’s playoff time for Boys HS teams in Northern California, with 27 teams playing in some sort of championships playoff at the Cherry Island Sports Complex in Rio Linda.
Sixteen more boys teams play in an open division.
The Maryland Exiles will be hosting the Maryland International Youth Festival this coming weekend at the campus of Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md.
Thirty-four boys teams in four divisions will compete, and 14 girls teams will also play.
Boston College High laid down a marker Wednesday with a 20-7 defeat of previously unbeaten Belmont High to move to 3-0 in Massachusetts Youth Rugby Boys DI league play.
In a physical, intense game, BC High got the better of the breakdowns, and that proved to be the difference. Belmont was plagued with penalty problems in the rucks, but still kept it code until the very end.
Here’s a look at some of the gamebreakers from this past week in Boys HS rugby.
