Northern California took both the U19 Boys and U16 Boys trophies at the Great Northwest Challenge state-based select-side tournament this weekend in Missoula, Mont.
Hosted by the Montana Youth Rugby Union and signaling a return to the old-style state-organization select-side event. In fact, The GNC did not allow anything other than state or regionally-based SRO teams.
So much to say about the first day of the Great Northwest Classic.
Northern California pulled off a big one to open the tournament. Both NorCal and Oregon came from behind to win games. One pool had three teams go 1-1. Montana almost lost to the Cascade Conference only to storm back to win 20-10. Oregon surprised.
Well here we are for the final school-team rankings of the year.
Rugby Wisconsin has named its all-state selections, with 41 players receiving mention.
The Midwest Thunderbirds, Panther Rugby Academy, and NOLA Gold Academy faced off in Nashville in a small select side tournament over the weekend.
