High School Boys
Tension and humidity filled the air at Mount St. Mary’s University, as the Bethesda Roosters defended their U19 Rugby Maryland Championship Title
and added a record to their storied rivalry with the Maryland Exiles.
The US Rugby Foundation 2023-24 college scholarship programs are now open for application.
The programs are designed to provide financial assistance to deserving student-athletes who demonstrate a strong commitment to academic achievement and rugby excellence.
This year's scholarship application period will run through August 31st.
This weekend is the weekend before the Boys HS National Championships, but that doesn't mean it's empty.
In fact, it's pretty full. We have Michigan playoffs, Maryland semifinals, Illinois quarterfinals, the Pennsylvania finals, and we have the Oregon finals.
And we have some rankings-related games in there too and of course the Florida International Showcase.
It's been a bit of a hectic week so we're late with these rankings.
Next week we will probably not update the rankings because HS Nationals starts on Thursday, and we'll incorporate this coming weekend's activities (Illinois playoffs, Cascade final, Oregon finals, Wisconsin and Minnesota playoffs) into the rankings for Week 19.
The Xavier Knights and Greenwich Cardinals arrived at Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, NY knowing that their match was a must-win and a key HS Nationals seeding game.
In a dramatic clash, Xavier won by a single point 19-18.
