High School Boys
Good news from Louisiana HS rugby as a league-wide preseason scrimmage held this month saw an increased number of players and teams.
A region hit badly by COVID, Louisiana had dropped to about four teams in boys high school rugby. This preseason scrimmage day saw seven teams participate:
USA Rugby Men’s High Performance Pathways are gearing up for another key assembly this holiday break, with the annual Winter Talent ID Camp scheduled for Dec 26 - 31 at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista.
Are we clear on the top four teams in North Carolina's HS league already?
It might be a bit premature. Some teams might still be waiting for football players or wrestlers to join, so the fact that some teams have jumped out to an early running start isn't an indication (necessarily) of how the season will end.
Here are the standings right now:
After a winless season in 2023-24, Charlotte Catholic has started this season 2-0 after this weekend's a 42-3 win over Corinth out of Clayton, NC.
The official score listed will be 35-0 (the North Carolina league limits winning margins to 35). This was an important win for Charlotte Catholic as last week's game ended up being a bye as Sun Valley is unable to compete this year.
The Hough Huskies finally got to play an actual rugby game in North Carolina's school league Thursday night, and celebrated a win as well.
After their first two opponents canceled on them, the Huskies were able to play against a tough Marvin Ridge side this week.
Despite an early red card to Hough, the Huskies won 27-5.
