GRR: Rugby Indiana
Somehow Royal Irish pulled it out.
Injured - one of their top players had to stop playing Saturday after he was told to remove a knee brace - the Indianapolis team held off a determined and talented Granite Bay squad to win their third national HS club title in four years.
The Penn v Brownsburg game in Rugby Indiana this weekend has been called off as the two teams agreed to let their 3rd/4th match from the Midwest Championships stand in as the league game.
Tat means that Brownsburg ends their Indiana Super League season at 2-1, putting them, should Royal Irish beat La Salette as expected, in 2nd place.
In one of the two games this weekend between very highly-ranked teams, Royal Irish defeated Penn HS in Indiana Super League conference play.
In a tight Indiana Super League game, Penn HS outlasted Notre Dame De La Salette to win 38-24 Saturday.
The teams were tied 24-24 at half-time, but Penn was the stronger in the second half, scoring two tries, having two more called back, and holding their Illinois-based rivals scoreless.
Notre Dame De La Salette claimed an impressive victory over the weekend as the Illinois school that plays in Indiana defeated Chicago's Brother Rice 45-0.
