GRR: Gonzaga
Gonzaga High School out of DC is several thousand miles away in British Columbia right now.
St.Ignatius (ranked #3 by GRR among school teams_ dealt a pretty emphatic 34-5 defeat to #2 Gonzaga Saturday in West Virginia.
In a game that was postponed to Monday due to weather, #2 school team Gonzaga defeated #5 HS club team Fort Hunt 48-7.
Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach was pretty clear on how that game went. “They were very good in every phase of the game,” said Roach. “When we made mistakes they made us pay.”
It was early days still for both teams but Gonzaga has a lot of the pieces.
High School rugby tournaments are making their comebacks and in 2022 expect to see the Gonzaga Rugby Classic return.
There is one major story in the Single-School Day Two of the Boys HS National Championships, so we'll tell that story.
