GRR: Tennessee HS Rugby
Rugby Oklahoma’s Bixby Rugby produced some notable results in a small tournament in Germantown, Tenn. over the weekend.
Bixby defeated Christian Brothers HS out of the Memphis area 41-19 and Father Ryan out of the Nashville area 21-7.
But perhaps the biggest result was a 15-13 defeat of Germantown, secured on the last play of the game.
The Harpeth Harlequins moved to 3-0 in Middle Tennessee action with aa 31-7 defeat of the Raptors in fairly convincing fashion this week.
Defense has been the order of the day for the Harpeth Harlequins as they logged two wins in the past week.
H2 defeated an up-and-coming Spring Hill team five days ago, holding their opponents to just to one try while scoring four. And then Saturday they followed that up with a 19-0 shutout of the Tennessee Rugby Academy.
While there are several high school rugby teams playing a little on the down-low, there are leagues and tours that have been approved by governing bodies, and teams that have secured their own insurance to get the job done.
Under beautiful blue skies and with perfect weather, the Harlequins capped off an undefeated, albeit abbreviated, 7s season with a 17-12 victory over the Mustangs out of Germantown in the state tournament final.
