High School Girls
Rugby Pennsylvania's championship weekend wrapped up with five championships; and here's a look at then.
After having defeated all comers in the fall of 2020 with a perfect record in 7s and garnering the Olympic 7's Tennessee State Championship title, the Lady Raptors knew that 15s would be a much tougher hill to climb in the spring of 2021.
The teams from Middle and East Tennessee were packed with athletes who loved to hit, drive forward, and run like the wind.
Doylestown ruled the field Sunday in Rugby Pennsylvania's Girls HS final, putting Moon Area tot he sword 55-7.
With the dynamic halfback pairing of Sophia Linder and Nina Mason controlling the pace of the game and playing some pretty physical rugby, Doylestown had the foundation of a win.
Moon Area will play Doylestown in the final of Rugby Pennsylvania’s Girls HS division after seeing off a tenacious Downingtown Saturday in the semis.
It was a game of varied profiles, with the opening minutes seeming to promise an all-forward slog, and then the game changing dramatically in style and momentum.
Rugby Pennsylvania’s playoffs begin and end this weekend with two intense days of competition.
The day starts with Youth semifinals and Junior semifinals.
The boys D2 then comes in with Media vs Berks/West Chester and Indiana vs Blackthorn
At 4-1 Media is the #1 seed.
