The only major HS all-star tournament West of the Continental Divide kicks off this weekend in Corvallis, Ore, with a massive feast of rugby at the Great Northwest Challenge.

Two all-star tournaments finish off the Regional Cup Tournament series this weekend, with the Great Northwest Challenge in Corvallis, Ore., and the Midwest Challenge Cup in Rockford, Ill.
The two tournaments are very different in size and scope.
