GRR: HS Girls
The state of Wisconsin has adopted the fall 15s/spring 7s format for its girls high schools championships, and the league hosted its second 7s state championship in Cottage Grove last weekend. The Brookfield Bruisers ended the day on top, going 3-0-1 and beating Catholic Memorial 10-5 in a final marked by resolute defense.
The competitive gap in Minnesota’s girls high school league appears to be widening. As Armstrong and North Suburban prepare for this Saturday’s state championship, they’ll not only be amped for a chance to win a title, but also grateful for a competitive match.
Rugby New York is hosting its girls high school state championship this weekend, and three Buffalo-area teams will look to unseat current titleholder Play Rugby Academy over two days in Utica.
To help the USA Women 7s team prepare for next weekend’s NACRA Olympic qualifier, 12 elite high school players have taken residence at the Olympic Training Center for the week. These young athletes could very well be the next generation of Eagle 7s players, so let’s take a closer at those all-stars in Chula Vista right now:
North Central won its 10th Indiana girls high school state championship, marking the team’s 7th consecutive title. But despite the 32-17 decision over Penn, which had finished third at the Midwest Championship, the game was not a one-sided affair.
The Panthers were tested early on and found themselves on the losing end of a 10-0 scoreline.
