GRR: Louisiana Rugby
It's a tight race in the Louisiana HS league as both games this weekend were decided by a try or less, and in fact three of the four league games this year have been that close.
This week, St. Paul's opened their season with a nicely-taken 33-26 defeat of the Bayou Hurricanes. That put Bayou at 0-2-1 although the Hurricanes have certainly played some good rugby.
Boys high school rugby is slowly getting into gear, and while March will see a larger number of teams ramp it up, we do have some games to look at this weekend.
Tennessee’s Germantown HS team capped off a three-game tour of Louisiana with three victories.
On Saturday, Germantown defeated Brother Martin 57-10 and the Bayou Hurricanes (ranked #22 among HS Clubs by GRR) 59-19.
On Sunday, Germantown beat Jesuit of New Orleans (ranked #46 by GRR among single-school teams) 50-7.
We've got high school action through the warmer states with Southern California working toward two championships and everyone else still just getting started.
Here are scores in Boys HS rugby over the weekend of Jan 30-Feb 2.
