High School Boys
The first day of the Boys HS Rugby National Championships is in the books. Here’s the rundown.
Tier II
A relatively wet and chilly day, for North Carolina in May, opened up for the players at the Rugby Athletic Center in Charlotte, NC. And the first games were in Tier II.
Up in the frozen north the top teams out of Minnesota are starting to show their hand.
Leading the way may well be Edina, which has started 5-0, including this past weekend’s 39-7 win over Duluth. Edina has scored 299 points and given up 19. Faribault is also 5-0, although two of those wins - 10-7 over Eden Prairie and 8-0 over Western Warriors - have been close.
In getting to the final of the Rugby Oregon Boys Club competition, Northside needed something special, and they got it.
The Goff Rugby Report rankings are generally pretty accurate, but sometimes they don’t hold true on major matchups.
Why? Often that’s because a team that had a couple of setbacks early in the season and those losses are still on the team’s record, but now, with injured players back or the team simply improving, they might be a better opponent.
The Boys High School Rugby National Championships kicks off on the afternoon of Thursday, May 19.
