High School Boys
It's a busy weekend around the country in Boys HS rugby, as some leagues are getting started, and others heading into playoff-decision time; here's a look:
There's plenty at stake this weekend in Northern California's Boys DI HS league as a well-regarded SFGG team takes on always-dangerous Peninsula Green.
Peninsula Green comes into the game after beating Pleasanton - a very solid Pleasanton - 45-12.
The Northern California DII Boys HS league is not for the faint of heart, and has produced some impressive athletes and rugby players at higher levels in the past.
This year, five teams have emerged as the major contenders - De La Salle in the Bay Division, Bullard and Roosevelt in the Central, Berkeley in the Redwood, and Kennedy in Sacramento.
There's some movement in the Boys Single-School Rankings, with Penn edging up despite Herriman's excellent 7s performance, on the basis of a pretty great 15s performance in Lindenwood.
St. Thomas Aquinas won 26-17 over Cardinal Gibbons this past weekend in Florida, cementing the team’s position as the DII Boys HS team in the state.
