GRR: Louisiana Rugby
Along with Southern California and the Carolinas, we now have Florida, Louisiana, and Texas stepping onto the field.
How great is that?
Brother Martin and St. Paul's played a competitive and entertaining Louisiana Boys HS final to cap off a great day of rugby in New Orleans.
The game was held after Major League Rugby's NOLA Gold came from behind to beat the Toronto Arrows 22-14.
The high school game was no less intriguing.
Brother Martin and St. Paul's will meet for the Louisiana State High School title next week after they won semifinals Saturday.
Although Southeast Louisiana had received over 12 inches of rain in the past four days, the rain paused long enough to allow Brother Martin and St Paul's to play at Hunter Stadium on the St. Paul's campus in the final week of Louisiana Rugby's regular HS season.
Brother Martin moved to 5-0 in the Louisiana boys HS league with a tough 14-7 victory over New Orleans Jesuit Wednesday night.
After scoring over 34 points per game in their first four league matches, Brother Martin was held to just two tries by a difficult Jesuit team.
