High School Boys
We're in the middle of HS select-side season and this weekend is relatively busy.
But before we get to that, let's take a look at the past couple of week.
The Buckeye Classic last week welcomes teams from North Carolina (North Carolina All-Stars), Ohio (Aviators), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh Harlequins), and the Atlantis 15s.
Here is our third installment of the commits for college rugby this upcoming fall.
Chuck Gehl had already accepted that he wouldn’t get the Nelson College scholarship.
The Missoula, Montana front-rower had been told he would not be going to New Zealand. But then, suddenly, it all changed. The US Rugby Foundation found funding for a third scholarship recipient, and Geh got the call.
The largest HS select side tournament is set for this coming weekend in Montana.
Bozeman will host the Great Northwest Challenge with four brackets involving at least 33 teams.
Less than two months remain for the Nelson College scholarship and the three players there are nicely settled in.
For Kolomona Kahanu, this has been a special trip. As the first Polynesian player to be part of the US Rugby Foundation-funded scholarship program, Kahanu, who is from Hawai'i and now lives and plays in Provo, Utah, has found a special experience.
