GRR: Kingfishers
The Kansas City Jr. Blues faced off with St. Martin’s Kingfishers this past weekend in Fort Scott, Kans. and this game ended with a solid win for Kingfishers.
On a very wet field in The Rugby Garden in Wylie, TX, Woodlands of the Houston area held off St. Martin's out of Kansas 15-8 in a high-rankings showdown Saturday.
Woodlands takes on St. Martin’s Kingfishers in Dallas this weekend in an early-season meeting of two highly-ranked teams from different states.
Woodlands plays their players from one school in the Texas school league but they generally operate as a club, and as a club are ranked #5 by GRR.
Going into 2024 St. Martin’s out of Kansas has already set the tone for what could be a very nice follow-up to a strong 2023.
The Kingfishers played Gregory the Great in a December season warmup and followed that up with a game against a KC Alliance U19 team.
St. Louis University High held an all-Catholic-School tournament this past weekend and the Kansas City area did fairly well, with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Martin's Kingfishers both winning all of their games.
Since Aquinas and Kingfishers are slated to play each other soon, they didn't play each other in the tournament, so both came out undefeated.
