GRR: No name
This article has been significantly changed due to the fast the tournament is already seeded and there's been a change of teams (which they didn't tell us about).
In a follow-up to Thursday’s article about seeding the Boys HS NIT single-school bracket, here’s a quick look at the Pacific Invitational to be held a week before in San Diego.
The USA Selects claimed an impressive scalp by beating Uruguay in Montevideo with a hometown ref.
Despite being shorthanded for about 40% of the game, the Selects held on 13-3, scoring their one key try while a man short.
It’s yet another showdown of top single-schools as #5 Xavier hosts #7 Greenwich.
This game has more to it than just some sort of tri-state bragging rights. The seedings for the Boys HS National Invitational Championship in Charlotte, NC could well be at stake.
There’s a drought in California, but water isn't what Fallbrook is craving. The four-time reigning high school champion is struggling for competitive games, and as nationals approaches, the Warriors are not feeling as confident as seasons past.
The USA Selects pulled off an astounding performance at the Old Christians rugby ground in Uruguay, beating the Uruguayan national team 13-3 in very difficult conditions.
The game was a grand battle, asking much of the physicality of both sides. With little space to work with and the forwards allowed to slow ball down in the rucks, offense was at a premium, and so was scoring.
