GRR: 7s
Rugby Oregon kicked off its fall 7s this past weekend with brackets for both boys and girls.
In the girls competition, the bracket was well-attended and the games were competitive throughout. The opener between Newberg and Reynolds went to the Newberg Lady Tigers, but it wasn't a walkover as Reynolds held Newberg to just two tries in a 10-5 results.
Rugby Ohio kicked off their fall 7s with a massive event in Vermilion, Ohio, just west of Cleveland.
Many boys and girls teams from around the state competed in what was more a chance to get on the field than a championship. In the boys side well-established teams such as St. Ignatius and St. Edward were, unsurprisingly, solid in both their varsity and JV teams.
the United girls team continues to roll through the opposition in the Utah Youth Rugby Girls Fall 7s.
Saturday's Week 2 event saw United dismiss the opposition with a 4-0 record, beating Majestics (who finished second), Provo, Mountain Ridge, and Wasatch.
Week 2 in Utah Youth Rugby's fall 7s is in the books with the combined United/Genesis team coming out on top.
Both United/Genesis and Herriman were unbeaten in pool play. Herriman beat Kearns 26-0, Brighton 54-7, and Wasatch 33-5 to win their pool.
A new 7s competition only for single-school high school teams will be launched in October, 2022.
Slated to be held in Salt Lake City next fall, the event is designed to promote high school rugby supported by schools. The National Rugby School 7s hopes to bring in existing single-school programs as well as teams that don't have enough players from one school to form a 15s team.
