High School Boys
Edina has been plowing through the Minnesota Youth Rugby season, but they didn’t so much plow this week in the MYR quarterfinals.
The Chargers will take on in-conference rivals Nicolet in the Wisconsin boys HS final on Saturday.
Nicolet, the #2 team out of the Badgerland Conference, defeated Northeast Wisconsin winners the Pulaski Roos 31-18 Wednesday in the semifinals.
The Chargers, the Badgerland winners, took down Badgerland #3 Elkhorn 60-5.
Rugby Michigan has named its post-season selections in the Boys HS division.
Four separate conferences named all-conference teams. The entire state also named scholar-athletes - players who have maintained a 3.5 GPA or better. And all-state teams for DI and DII have also been named.
In last year’s HS 7s at the CRC weekend, competition was split between single-school and club teams, and the single-school winner was a team few followed costly - Archmere Academy.
The Auks won because they play a lot of 7s, and know how to do it. Archmere is in the Boys Open Division this year, and the Auks look in good shape to take this bracket.
The Boys Elite bracket in the High School Rugby Championship 7s invitational in Chester, Pa. features some very talented select, regional, and high school sides from around the country.
