HS Games May 16-19
These scores are a bit late as you know your beloved editor was at the HS Nationals.
The Nationals themselves were excellent, despite issue revolving around weather and field usage. All but four games in the single-school bracket were decided by less than a try, and another was decided by just nine points. The club bracket wasn't quite as close but produced several surprises, including a last-play upset of #8 over #1 (seedings), and comeback wins for Danville (twice, including a last-play try), Royal Irish, and Back Bay. The team that finished 8th led the the eventual winners at halftime in the opener.
In addition, we've got three HS and one youth Rugby Pennsylvania champions crowned, a Rugby Colorado champion crowned, and two champions from Ruhby Oregon. In case you couldn't quite follow it, the Rugby Oregon club Bowl playoff was a round-robin, with the Bend Blues winning both of their games to take that.
