High School Boys
It was a good weekend for BC High Rugby as the Eagles beat Lincoln-Sudbury 70-7 on Friday and then took care of Aspetuck 43-14.
In Friday's match, prop and captain Mikey Smith scored two tries and the team in general did well to find space and work with good support lines.Eleven different Eagles scored tries.
Pendleton defeated St. Ignatius in the final of the Midwest Championships Sunday, taking the game 25-21 to cap off a 3-0 weekend.
While it is fair to say this was not a completely full-strength St. Ignatius team—no seniors due to prom weekend—this was still a very good showing from the Arabians of Indiana.
It's another big weekend in Boys HS rugby.
We have playoffs in Virginia, Northern California, and Southern California. We have the Florida final with Okapi vs Jacksonville, and the Louisiana final with NOLA Jesuit vs Brother Martin. Woodlands plays Four Points in the Texas club final.
If there is one HS club team we would NOT want to play it might well be Danville.
That teams has made significant strides this year and their coaching staff should be commended. We had them pretty far down for a top NorCal club but they are moving their way up and clearly are improved.
This was a relatively complicated school ranking to do because several teams have made moves.
The top 19 or so remain unchanged. However we do see St. Augustine shoot up after their win over Georgetown Prep. That bodes well overall for where New Jersey school rugby is going.
