Plano Girls Surprise to Win Texas
The Plano girls team went into the Texas Girls HS 7s championships knowing they had a big hill to climb.

EIRA Player of the Week - Ryan Rees
Westlake HS won the Texas state championship by a point, and it would be fair to say that without Ryan Rees, it wouldn’t have happened like that.
Of course, we could say that about anyone on the Westlake team, but we are picking Rees. The Chaps scrumhalf has had a good example to follow. His brother, Alex, is a star scrumhalf at Arkansas, and also filled that role at Westlake.
Boys HS Playoff Weekend!
The Deep South Boys HS final is set for this weekend with the Bayou Hurricanes taking on Jesuit of New Orleans.
Jesuit, led by big Will Waguespack and shift Case Ellis, and some big plays in the scrum, defeated defending champs St. Paul’s in the semis this week.
Meanwhile, Bayou Hurricanes hammered the Barbarians behind another big game from Zavier Triplett.
