The Rugby Texas has started its season with a series of non-league games giving some teams a chance to warm up.
This weekend, Dallas Jesuit plays St. Thomas out of Houston, while St. Pius X visits Westlake.
West Houston is at Strake Jesuit, while Katy is at Lamar.
Two games this past weekend decided conference winners (or as good as did), and we've got a few more coming this weekend as the Southern California Varsity White quarterfinals loom.
Here's how things went down this weekend:
Two close games were all we needed to see this week in the SCIRF league in Southern California, as Cathedral Catholic and St. Augustine both won tight games.
St. Augustine moved to 4-0 with a 31-24 defeat of Torrey Pines. the Saints started well, with forwards Isaac Morrill and Michael Colucci helping set the platform for a potent attacking group.
Georgia HS team Phoenix Alpharetta opened up its season with an impressive road shutout win over defending Florida champs the Jacksonville Wolverines.
Belmont Shore and Rhino Rugby Academy ran off with 3-0 records in a series of shortened games at the Storer Classic at UCLA.
The tournament, which is part of the annual collegiate Storer Classic (won by Cal), is a series of shortened games among teams from Southern California, Northern California, and Utah.
