High School Boys
The Rugby Arizona season started this past weekend with Blackbirds beating Desert Vista 45-7 and Scottsdale downing El Mirage 36-19.
Defending champion Red Mountain didn’t get to play their game as Salpointe forfeited, but it’s fair to say that Red Mountain is, once again, the team to beat.
Rancho Bernardo may have lost their opening league game in the SoCal Varsity White San Diego division, but since then, it’s been nothing but win.
After the opening loss to Mira Mesa 29-19, the Broncos have defeated Mission Vista, San Pasqual, and, most recently, Alta Vista.
Orlando has enjoyed a nice start in the Florida Youth Rugby Boys HS DI, beating both Naples and West Pines but significant margins.
Even in chilly wind (chilly for Florida, anyway), they handled the ball well. West Pines was without their superb flyhalf, Martin Mairowitz, but still a 38-5 scoreline is impressive.
Today we debut the 2016 Boys HS Club rankings, and we've got a lot of rugby to play before thesr things are perfected.
We're back with our Gamebreakers feature, and this week's list of high school boys who made an impact for their teams.
