High School Boys
Iowas HS 7s league kicked off last weekend with nine teams in two divisions going 2-0.
As has happened in the league for many years now, teams play just two 7s games in an evening and are tracked in a league format. The format centers around school teams and there are 38 teams in action, including the JV squads, and 26 varsity teams playing.
We had to make a large number of changes in the HS Club Top 50.
The Friendship Cup had an impact, but we also just felt we had to revisit some teams and, as leagues really start to take on the season.
So what did we learn at the Friendship Cup?
As we told you, St. Francis's days at #1 were numbered because they don't play anymore—their season ended at the beginning of March.
Still, their record is their record and they will hang around.
Notre Dame de la Salette made a bit of a statement this weekend with two well-taken wins over St. Edward and St. Martin's.
St. Edward from Cleveland and St. Martin's Kingfishers from Kansas converged on La Salette's campus in Illinois for a weekend of games. St. Martin's beat St. Edward 36-24 while NDDLS beat both by similar scores: 45-5 over St. Edward, and 43-13 over St. Martin's.
