High School Boys
On tour in Italy, the Mystic River U19 team spent the first couple of days in training with two different clubs in Milan.
The players will be playing three games through their ten-day tour, but before they started playing, they needed some time to warm up after getting out of the Massachusetts winter. They went through training sessions with Cus Milano and then the Colorno club.
OK so what to make of the Florida high school season.
Preseason games seemed to vault some teams into the mix, and then when the league stared, there was trouble.
Defending champs Jacksonville started off shakily with a preseason loss to Georgia’s Phoenix Alpharetta, but then has gone from strength to strength.
Tennessee’s Germantown HS team capped off a three-game tour of Louisiana with three victories.
On Saturday, Germantown defeated Brother Martin 57-10 and the Bayou Hurricanes (ranked #22 among HS Clubs by GRR) 59-19.
On Sunday, Germantown beat Jesuit of New Orleans (ranked #46 by GRR among single-school teams) 50-7.
Mystic River’s U19s are back on tour this February, touring Italy with the help of Irish Rugby Tours.
(Despite the name, Irish Rugby Tours takes teams to destinations all over the world, helping them combine a cultural itinerary with tickets to professional and international gams, and matching the teams with competitive opponents.)
The Marin Highlanders are in England and Wales on a tour organized by Irish Rugby Tours.
The team will play three opponents while also seeing Wales vs France and a Premiership game. This ten-day tour started on a winning note as the Highlanders defeated Cheshunt RFC 27-14.
