High School Boys
The Naples Hammerheads boys team have taken control of the Florida U19 league with a difficult 24-21 road win over Key Biscayne.
The win put Naples at 4-0 in the league, well ahead of everyone else, and while there’s still plenty of rugby to be played, Naples is in excellent position to be the top team in the state.
St. Thomas Aquinas powered through Bixby 41-14 to open up the season for the Saints.
Head Coach Tim Kluempers had a very strong team in 2020 and has come back with a group that might have a few questions, but seems to have started when it left off last year.
Southern California's boys high school season will be a little different this year but it's still inching its way forward, and this weekend three teams met for a series of shortened games to get the party started.
Dallas Jesuit and Strake Jesuit move on in their winning ways in Rugby Texas, while the Woodlands also looked strong this weekend.
The Rangers of Dallas Jesuit got two tries from Charlie Freeman and tries from Robert Triantos, Marshal Neri, Brennan Graham, and lock Alex Johnson in a 36-17 defeat of Lake Travis to move to 3-0. It was the Rangers first win over Lake Travis since 2018.
The San Diego Mustangs made the trip to Arizona to take on Tempe Saturday, and came away with a nice 27-19 win.
Tempe has started very well and cone a game on Thursday, beating Tucson 39-21 in a game they led 39-0 at halftime before running in the changes. But the Mustangs, getting the OK from SoCal Youth Rugby to tour, was a different proposition.
