High School Boys
There's been a change in the top spot in the Goff Rugby Report HS Boys Single-School rankings.
You'd expect there to be. While Gonzaga played Gregory the Great in an open-subs scrimmage (and won), the #1 team didn't play a major team this week, and Jesuit of Sacramento did, beating top-ranked HS club team Danville. When you beat the best you get rewarded, and Jesuit moves to #1.
While the Southern California single-school 15s playoffs are being held, SoCal also held a 7s championships for emerging teams - Varsity Green.
Here are our Gamebreakers for this past week in Boys HS rugby.
Clay Reidy, St. Thomas Houston
The big St. Thomas lock forward was a source of power and strength for STHS as they beat Memorial.
First, we have to admit we love going to New Orleans. The teams we play, the beauty of City Park, and the spirit of camaraderie the coaches, referees, players, and supporters exhibit are unprecedented. Both Brother Martin and Jesuit of New Orleans are class acts led by models of the culture and competitiveness of the game.
Rugby Texas had a relatively quiet weekend league-wise, but there were some interesting results nonetheless.
We’ll have more on Timber Creek’s defeat of St. Pius X later. Woodlands hosted Aberdare from Wales, and beat the tourists 26-17.
