High School Boys
Here are the games this weekend in Boys HS rugby.
In a meeting of the two defending Boys NIT champions, 2015 single-school winner Gonzaga HS defeated 2015 HS club winner Royal Irish 15-13 at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia Saturday.
The Tampa Krewe sit all alone atop the Florida Youth Rugby Boys DI HS league after edging the previously-unbeaten Jupiter Sharks 17-14 on Saturday.
The game was an exciting one, with two evenly-matched teams, and it all came down to a late penalty attempt for the Krewe.
It’s another meeting of champions Saturday as, for the second year in a row, defending single-school NIT winner Gonzaga faces defending HS club NIT winner Royal Irish in an early game.
It may be a shade too early for both - we’ll see - as Gonzaga has just had a couple of scrimmages, and Royal Irish has not played at all.
The upper echelon of Rugby Texas just got a whole lot more intriguing after Thursday night’s meeting between Westlake and Lake Travis.
