More Playoffs This Weekend in HS Rugby
More Playoffs This Weekend in HS Rugby
Playoffs are the order of the weekend.
Southern California has a bit of a wrinkle in their playoffs. Belmont Shore ended the season undefeated, but they missed a game to play in the Tropical 7s and that game could not be rescheduled. So ... even if you just log that game as not played, 2nd-place San Diego Mustangs got a close-loss bonus point in their loss to Belmont Shore so actually the Mustangs are the #1 seed.
In a way it doesn't really matter because all of the games among the top three teams have been close, so San Diego vs Thunder (which is what we have) or SOC Raptors (which is what we might have had) is still a challenge for both teams. Belmont Shore takes on the Raptors.
Mutual Respect, Wariness Highlights NorCal Finals
Northern California decides its champions decided too with a high-ranking clash in the Premier Division. Tennessee has their semifinals and so does North Carolina. Pennsylvania's relatively short season goes into the quarterfinals in both D1 and D2.
We also have the Midwest Championships tournament which has six ranked teams involved.
Plenty to Play For in Midwest Championship
Tennessee also has their semis and so does North Carolina. Clayton can celebrate seeing an alumnus win the Scholz Award with a win over Cape Fear.
