This year's high school girls division of the annual Milwaukee Lakefront 7s Tournament has expanded significantly. With a full pool of competitive teams, it seems girls teams are catching on to the huge boom in collegiate and club level sevens. The Crusader Cup back in May exposed some WGR teams to sevens earlier this spring and that may have jump-started some more interest in Milwaukee's biggest rugby festival of the year. But the bracket features more than just Wisconsin teams and could develop into the premier high school girls sevens event in the Midwest.
Catholic Memorial and two Brookfield teams will represent Wisconsin in the high school division. Other participants include Storm out of Tennessee; they play a wide open game already and with a lot of athleticism in a young team, sevens fits them perfectly. They play a fall conference sevens season and should be a challenger for the title. They've entered two sides in the tournament. Another experienced participant will be the Penn High School girls out of Indiana. They perennially look to play at the highest level possible and continue to earn a lot of respect with their play every year in the Midwest Championships in April. They were really athletic in the spring, with a big midfield and that should translate to success in sevens as well.
Fresh off their 41-0 victory over Fallbrook at the Philadelphia CRC High School Challenge, DSHA will once again compete in the senior level Midwest Qualifier bracket with the collegiate and adult womens players. Kudos to them for having the guts to play at the highest level possible. The bracket features some of the top women's programs in the Midwest and NOVA from the East Coast.
