High School Boys
The annual Medstar National Rehab Hospital 7s tournament is set to return as the even celebrates its 10th anniversary.
St. Ignatius of Cleveland won the Rugby Ohio Boys HS 7s on Sunday, but despite the final score of the final it wasn’t an easy run.
The tournament was a straight bracket, with eight teams in a quarterfinal, followed by cup semifinals and consolation semifinals, and then the placement games.
The quarterfinal matchups were:
Walnut Hills vs Highland
Registration is open for the Gonzaga Rugby Classic, which will be held April 12-13, 2025.
This tournament is one of the shining tournament lights on the high school calendar. Remember last year when the final between Gonzaga and Charlotte Cardinals was decided right at the end ... and both of those teams went on to win their respective national championships.
Rugby Ohio's 7s season comes to a close this coming weekend with one team in a position of heavy favorite.
But, of course, that isn't always a welcome position to be in.
