High School Boys
The Annual Memorial Day Sevens Festival took place in Alpharetta, Ga. on Saturday in a variety of age-grade brackets.
The teams enjoyed perfect weather and played in front of a large crowd. Phoenix Rugby of Alpharetta won the HS division, beating the North Carolina All Stars 68-12 in the final.
Delbarton repeated as the New Jersey single-school champion, defeating St. Augustine 27-14 Saturday.
The two teams met recently, with St. Augustine winning that game, but Delbarton got revenge Saturday.
Here are scores from major Boys HS state playoffs around the country this weekend.
The National Championships may be done, but there are still plenty of playoffs to pay attention to this weekend.
In Connecticut, Fairfield Prep defeated Simsbury 36-33 in the single-school semis. Simsbury led 26-12 at halftime, but Prep stormed back to win it in the final minutes.
In just the team’s first year in existence, the Las Vegas Black Hawks won the Nevada state championship, defeating the Las Vegas Rugby Academy 40-5 in the final.
It was a somewhat astounding result given that almost the entire team is a bunch of rugby rookies, but Head Coach Leonard Nell said the final was the culmination of a long season learning how to play.
