More state finals are on the slate for this weekend.
Xaverian Brothers got by Belmont HS 38-17 to book their spot in the Massachusetts IAA D1 final. These two teams had met back in early April, a game that ended in a 17-17 tie. In the semifinal Luke Bell scored two tries while Christopher Dalton, William Benting, Joseph Karbelis, and Ben Kramer all touched down as well.
Xavier HS defeated Corning and Pelham to win the Rugby New York Tier 1 state championship over the weekend.
Of course the Boys HS Rugby National Championships were held over the weekend, but some more games happened, too.
MIAAIn Massachusetts, we're getting close to the playoffs. BC High put in a huge result over Belmont HS. Belmont has been hit with injuries and it showed.
We've got a bit of ao roundup of HS action across the USA.
MetNYIn a meeting of two of the top teams in the MetNY area, Pelham and Rye tied 13-13.
In what has to be thought of as an upset, Pelham HS defeated Xavier HS 20-14 in MetNY action over the weekend.
Pelham (ranked #21 by GRR) left the game elated with the win over the #2-ranked Xavier, but also feeling like they could have scored more.
