Gamebreakers in HS Rugby This Week
We get some notable performances from some regions where we haven't seen a lot of info, such as Rugby Colorado's club season and Rugby Washington,
And that means we can recognize more players in more states, and we like that.
Here are our Gamebreakers for the weekend of May 8-9:
Rudy Scholz Award Finalist Payton Telea Ilalio
The 2020 Rudy Scholz Award-winner, Payton Telea-Ilalio has not let up in 2021.
The Saint Mary's prop, who got his start in the Bishop Riordan program in Northern California, has only really been stopped by COVID, as the Gaels have, so far, only been able to play three games.
Rudy Scholz Award Finalist Emmanuel Albert
Eagan, Minnesota product Emmanual Albert is a finalist for the Rudy Scholz Award because he has become the foundation upon which Lindenwood's best-ever 15s season has been built.
Quiet but a leader, Albert plays lock and flanker and excels at both.
Rudy Scholz Award Finalist TJ van Rensburg
Johannesburg, South Africa native, Arkansas State scrumhalf, and Scholz Award finalist TJ van Rensburg is, said his Head Coach Jake Mizell, a dream to coach.
Rudy Scholz Award Finalist Jack Wendling
Jack Wendling was a star for the Chuckanut youth program in northern Washington State before joining Central Washington University.
