High School Girls
It's been a decade of major changes in high school rugby, but some things do remain the same, with a few teams dominating the landscape.
Here's a look at who gets our awards for the decade:
The Arizona Bobcats HS select side program is back with another running of the Roadrunner 7s in Phoenix.
The tournament, thanks in large part to Jessica Brandt, was a big success last year and as happened in 2018 it will include teams from Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.
Grandville HS girls ended this fall with a state championship as they avenged last year's championship game loss to Sparta-Rock with a 22-10 win for the Bulldogs.
With seniors Gina Pollice and Hanna Sarber scoring tries, and junior Hannah Koorndyk adding one of her own, Grandville held off an early onslaught from Sparta-Rock.
The New York 7s is back for Thanksgiving Weekend with a long day of high-end 7s on Randall's Island in New York City.
The College and HS Brackets of the one-day tournament are, as usual, very strong. Here's a quick look:
Men's Collegiate
The Rugby Tennessee girls fall season finished off this weekend in Memphis.
Columbia Central defeated Riverdale in the final and took the state championship. Columbia Central finished the fall 27-2 with a 121-21 points for and against.
Sophomore wing Azhinaye Barner (pictured) was named Tournament MVP.
