GRR: Rugby Texas
West Houston is for real; that's the likely conclusion after the team beat #3-ranked school team Strake Jesuit Saturday in Texas league play.
After starting the season with a tie to Strake and a loss to St. Thomas, West Houston won two games by identical 40-12 scores to set them up for a rematch with a very tough Strake team.
Here's a look at what happened in the Boys High School rugby scene around the country.
We refer to the team's ranking from last week when appropriate. If we say S14, that means a School team ranked 14 among School teams. A ranking of C19 would be the #19 team in the HS Club rankings.
The Woodlands cruised through much of a very active weekend, but ran into a bit of a brick wall on Sunday.
Woodlands opened a very busy weekend with a 76-0 defeat of St. Pius X Thursday night.
With a league game plus games with Major League Rugby academies scheduled for this weekend, Woodlands is trying to replicate the difficulties involved in playing at the HS National Championships.
An upset or two and the end of one regular season (no, seriously) highlighted Saturday in boys HS rugby.
