Check out the National Invitational Tournament website for the full results and standings. As this is the Wisconsin U19 site, we have to say congratulations to DSHA (#1) for thier 13-6 victory over Kent WA in the Cup final AND Vernon who placed 3d with a hard fought (17-10) victory over Summit (CO). I know DSHA gets a lot of ink, but Vernon should be very proud of this 3rd place finish in a difficult tournament.
Brookfield placed 4th after a difficult loss to City Honors/Genesse (NY) 25-12 in the 3rd place math of the Plate division. The Plate division ended with an all Oregon final as West Linn downed Canby 24-10.
I didn't get to see as many matches as I would have liked, but the matches I saw were exciting. The final round of the Cup division was a particularly close game. The DSHA/Kent game saw some great pressure and defense by both teams. After trading penalty kicks early in the first half, with the score 3-3, the match was at issue for sixty-minutes. Both teams had some tough goal line stands. In the end, DSHA punched through two unconverted tries to win the day, but not without a fight.
Now it's time for all the other teams in Wisconsin to start preparing for the Fall and a chance to knock DSHA out of the running before the next National Tournament.
