GRR: BC High
The inaugural MIAA season is entering the back half of the schedule in Massachusetts.
Now recognized by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association as a varsity sport, a new tournament setup will also go into effect for teams in the league.
Rather than points and a league table, any team that makes .500 will automatically qualify for the post-season.
In a rematch from last year's Massachusetts state final, BC High used smothering defense and a few quick strikes to beat St. John’s Prep 18-5 Wednesday night.
BC High wrapped up their regular season Wednesday with 62-15 defeat of Needham HS.
The first annual North-East Jesuit Rugby Tournament was played over the weekend of April 16 - 17. Six teams: Boston College HS, Canisius High (Buffalo, NY), Fairfield Prep, Fordham Prep and St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, NJ) met in pool play. The tournament, hosted by Fairfield Prep, was played on the campus of Fairfield University.
It’s early days in the Massachusetts Boys HS rugby competition, but Friday brings one of the bigger games, as Boston College High School takes on Belmont High.
Both of these teams are regular contenders for the stare title.
