GRR HS Club Rankings Week 5

GRR HS Club Rankings Week 5

Belmont Shore in the rain against Marin in January. Shore is the new #1.

In this week's HS Club rankings, the #1 team Granite Bay tied with Danville.

That isn't, in and of itself, a reason to drop a a team out of the #1 spot, but Belmont Shore's win over Jesuit and the Woodlands beating West Houston were also big events, so we've made some changes at the top.

The rankings seem pretty California-heavy and that's fair considering how well those teams have performed over the last several years and also considering that they are actually playing rugby. More teams will be on the field soon, with the Midwest, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, especially having the potential to shift things around.

Watch for the culmination of the SoCal single-school season to jump-start club movement among teams such as Thunder, SOC, and San Diego.
