Strake Jesuit put in an impressive showing in Texas, shutting out Dallas Jesuit 31-0.
Led by a strong defensive effort from No. 8 Mike Melton, looehead prop Daniel Walls, lock Nick Hernandez, and fullback Christian Bennett Strake put together a very good team performance. They secured a bonus-point win and are the #1 seed going into Texas's single-school playoffs.
Tours are still part of the recipe this weekend.
Once again 901 is on the road, joining Woodlands on a trip to New Orleans to take on Jesuit New Orleans, Brother Martin, and each other.
Regis Jesuit will host a series of games in Denver in a week.
This will be the first annual Holy Classic Rugby Showcase. St. Thomas Aquinas is due to tour, so Valor has been invited to join and the three teams will all play each other.
"This will become an annual event in Denver and we hope to grow it quickly," said Regis Jesuit Head Coach Ethan Pougnet.
We're waiting, impatiently really, for the Southern California teams to get going and we're reluctant to drop them down because the bulk of those teams have been playing in single-school competition.
And the Raptors, at least, will be in action this week and we're interested to see how that goes.
We debated for a while the idea of moving St. Ignatius up to #2 or #1.
However, a couple of things prevented that: 1) Herriman won pretty well and so there was no reason to move them back; 2) St. Ignatius and Gonzaga play this weekend. So, instead of making a preemptive judgment on that upcoming game, we'll wait to see what's what.
