Six HS Teams Bring Rugby Back at Bi-Coastal Tourney
After 11 months of no rugby or perhaps only modified 7s, rugby union at the high school level is making its return in the Carolinas.
Following host state health rules and relying on private insurance, several teams met up for a big preseason weekend of 15s rugby in Rock Hill, South Carolina over President's Day Weekend.
Wando Keeps Winning
Wando continued its run of strong results with a 17-5 defeat of South Greenville in South Carolina HS league action.
Against a big, physical South Greenville team that has already beaten Greenville convincingly and also logged wins over Charlotte Catholic, Irmo, and Knoxville, Wando showed off a pretty snappy defensive front.
