Wisconsin Championship Results:
7th Place: DSHA B 56 Oak Creek 0
5th Place: Kettle Moraine 59 Northshore 7
3rd Place: Vernon 24 Brookfield 7
1st Place: DSHA 5 Catholic Memorial H.S. 0
Also, members of the Wisconsin League are Pius IX, which completed its very first season this year, Fond du Lac and Muskego.
These final results are noteworthy. This is the closest 1st place match in recent years (last year it was a 27 point margin) in Wisconsin and, in fact, one of the closest final matches that DSHA has played in the last few years at either a Territorial or National level. Lakewood (also from the Midwest (yeah!) fell to DSHA in the 2008 National Tournament 17-3 and at the 2008 Midwest 15-10.
In short, Catholic Memorial and DHSA treated fans to an exciting, even if low scoring, battle on the pitch. It was played with pace and skill on both sides right until the final minute of the game. It was quality rugby and bodes will for the future success of the Wisconsin Girls Rugby as we know that each season, we are competing against some of the best teams, not only in the Midwest but in the Nation.
Also, worthy of note, there was a lot of movement on the tables this year compared to last year: Northoshore rose from 8th to 6th; KM rose from 6th to 5th; Brookfield rose from 5th to 4th; Catholic Memorial rose from 3rd to 2nd; Vernon fell from 2nd to 3rd; and Muskego fell from 4th; Oak Creek (in reality) maintained 7th place; DS managed to hold on to #1 by a narrowing margin!

THe State Finals...
As a conference, we've gotten a bit lazy reporting scores, but it all boils down to this... here are the matches for the final weekends.
WHERE: Nagawaukee Park
DATE: Sunday, October 26, 2008
TIMES and Matches:
7th Place Match 10:30 AM Oak Creek v. DS-B
5th Place Match 12:00 PM NS v. KM
3rd Place Match 1:30 PM Vernon v. Brookfield
State Championship 3:00 PM CMH v. DS
It's an all Catholic Schools final match and it's also no surprise that 3 of the top four teams, heading into the finals are teams which can field more than 1 side (Vernon, CMH, and DS). It is no coincidence that these programs all have institutional support (Vernon is sponsored by the Town of Vernon Park and Recreation Department and Catholic Memorial High School and Divine Savior Holy Angels High School both have official affiliation with their respective schools).
It should be a good day of rugby! Good luck to all the teams as they play for their final ranking!
