High School Boys
Boston College High laid down a marker Wednesday with a 20-7 defeat of previously unbeaten Belmont High to move to 3-0 in Massachusetts Youth Rugby Boys DI league play.
In a physical, intense game, BC High got the better of the breakdowns, and that proved to be the difference. Belmont was plagued with penalty problems in the rucks, but still kept it code until the very end.
Here’s a look at some of the gamebreakers from this past week in Boys HS rugby.
Wednesday evening saw the Deep South HS rugby conference hold its semifinals, with undefeated St. Paul’s taking on New Orleans Jesuit, and Archbishop facing Mississippi.
It seems like it's a tight league in Rugby Pennsylvania's Single-School leagues (they have three, Red, White, and Blue), and this is especially true in the White, where two games each came down to a single point.
South Doyle limped out of the Jesuit Classic battered but smiling and turned around with a new group of players to beat Maryville Tuesday evening 47-25 in SMAC league play.
