High School Boys
The Florida Youth Rugby Boys DI league is off and running this weekend, with nine games on the docket.
Orlando is the defending state champs and the Griffins start at the Westside Wolverines. Riviera Beach Maritime Academy logged the best record in the regular season, and will visit Jupiter, which was 2nd in the league last year. That's a high-profile early clash.
This weekend's Southern California Varsity White league got an early start as Wilson HS moved to 3-0 with a defeat of new program Saint Anthony.
Wilson handled a physically large and powerful Saint Anthony team with a solid defensive effort.
Six teams in the Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) are in action this weekend as the new cross-border competition heats up.
We had a look at the past week, and a couple of weeks before, and give you our list of players who made an impact for their HS teams in recent days.
Here are this week's Gamebreakers:
Robbie Becker, Carlsbad
The Thunder hooker helped drive the forward effort in Carlsbad's run to 3-0.
Here is Goff Rugby Report's preseason rankings for Boys HS Clubs.
The rankings are based on last year's rankings, plus some adjustments based on a few early results, some observations, and some guesswork. Often, if a team had a good 2016, but it was something of an anomaly, we have moved that team down below teams with a long track record of success.
