High School Boys
Minnesota and Massachusetts get their league seasons going and Connecticut gets going in earnest.
We have several pretty important games this weekend, with seedings at HS Nationals being on the line, and more. besides:
Round 4 of the Iowa Youth Rugby Association is set for Friday with only two teams now still undefeated.
Last week Ankeny came into Friday night's games with a 4-0 record and found themselves on the losing end 21-10 to Cedar Falls and 19-0 to Waverly Shell Rock. Valley also entered the games 4-0 and were defeated 19-12 by SE Polk ... more on Polk in a bit.
We had a nice conversation with Rugby Ohio and we've got a few teams mischaracterized (school vs club).
So next week you'll see a couple of teams we have been ranking as clubs into the school list.
This is one of those weeks when teams win games and they move down.
Now, of course, you don't move down ... someone else moves up.
Perhaps the biggest game of the weekend was just a little touring matchup.
Florida-based Okapi Wanderers, ranked #11 among HS clubs, defeated Woodlands, ranked #1, in Texas. The scoreline was close, 15-10, but close or not it was a remarkable achievement for Okapi.
