Rugby Texas held its preseason Ruggapalooza event, with teams from St. Thomas HS, Cy Fair, SALT Rugby, Lamar, and West Houston in attendance.
Rocky Rugby out of Texas took a preseason trip across the South earlier this month, facing two defending state champions.
The Austin-area team faced Georgia state champions Phoenix Alpharetta and then Louisiana state champs Jesuit of New Orleans. In frigid temperatures in Georgia, Rocky defeated Phoenix 31-12 at the Life University grounds in Marietta. Phoenix won the B-side game.
Snow Canyon came away from the Storer Classic feeling pretty good about its performance, as the St. George, Utah team defeated SFGG 15-0 and took down Danville 17-12.
The team logged these results despite only having a few training sessions together. However, some experienced players, especially the halfback pairing of Wyatt Parry and Andy Day, kept things together.
St. John Bosco made a bit of a statement this weekend with a 28-21 defeat of Mira Costa in the Southern California Varsity Red league.
Here are the games being played in Boys HS rugby this weekend.
A closer look at the Storer Classic is here. The Northern California leagues are set to start very soon, with a new Premier alignment. Louisiana and Florida are about to start, too.
