High School Boys
The Cardiff Blues are visiting three different American youth teams this summer, bringing world class professional coaching to various programs throughout the USA.
Well it's been a while since we did a Gamebreakers column for high school players, so we've got quite the list for you.
These are players who had one big game, or, more commonly, have been standouts for their teams throughout the past month.
Some notes around the nation in HS rugby as some playoffs start, or get set to start.
ColoradoIn a battle of unbeaten teams, Valor beat East HS 20-12 over the weekend.
Jacksonville capped off a nice improvement arc with a 29-12 win over Tampa to make next week's Florida final.
The Wolverines had opened the league season with a shutout loss and remained in a battle with Key Biscayne and Tampa, and even Gibbons, for a playoff spot. But their April 6 win over Tampa put them at 4-2, and this week the victory over Tampa was more emphatic.
Dallas Jesuit won the Texas/Louisiana Varsity Cup final Saturday night, defeating Strake Jesuit 27-14 to take the title and end their season undefeated.
The game was, at one point, 27-0, but two late Strake tries made it a little closer. In some sense, it was only right, as the game always seemed closer than 27-0.
