What an eventful weekend of school-team rugby.

St. Ignatius sent a message that they're not going away quietly. St. Edward logged a statement win. St. Thomas Aquinas kept their hand up in the air. SLUH, which quietly used all their players on tour in Illinois (which precipitated a somewhat harsh ding in the rankings) showed in two very close losses that they belong in the conversation. 

Boston College High made a huge statement.

BC High Takes NE Jesuit Tournament at Fairfield

Oh, and #2 De La Salle lost.

All of this means we have to make some aggressive changes. Teams are moving up and down.

Now, remember we told you this was likely to happen—teams that don't play anymore (school teams out of Southern California and North Carolina) would eventually be overhauled because results trump not playing. In this case, it all happened really quickly because De La Salle lost to SFGG. That result shows how competitive Northern California is. But right now it drops DLS down a couple of spots. The thing is, since DLS beat Los Alamitos, who beat Torrey Pines, all of those guys move down, too.

All teams who have had good results this week or recently move up. We're not sold on Herriman and they are vulnerable at #7. Same goes for St. Martin's. East of Utah could have jumped up had they beaten LCA, but they didn't. 

Also moving large distances:

St. Joe's Prep was one of several school teams in Pennsylvania we were watching. Their dominant win over La Salle moves them up 25 spots (yes, yes the score listed is 49-32 but it was 42-0 at haltime). SLUH moves up 10 spots because we moved them down too far before AND they showed pretty well in close losses over the weekend.

St. Edward moves up seven spots after a fairly strong win over Moeller. Thanks to the NE Jesuit Tournament, Boston College High won that, and they go from not ranked to #25. Fordham Prep also comes in, and McQuaid Jesuit is on the cusp.
