Herriman, Ignatius Overcome Pressure to Make Final Again

We will have a rematch in the Boys HS National Championships single-school final, with St. Ignatius and Herriman facing off for the third time in six championship games.

Herriman had all the could handle against a very talented La Salette Academy team. The Utah side started off strong and used their superior size and their power to take a 17-5 lead.

Cardinals, Mustangs Roll to 3rd Straight HS Club

Well it's going to go the way everyone expected.

The San Diego Mustangs and Charlotte Cardinals are the two strongest HS clubs in the nation.

The Mustangs and the Cardinals both won convincingly in the HS National Championships HS Club bracket.

Facing a very tough Doylestown team that is very good at ball control, the Cardinals front up superbly.
