This year's Girls High School Rugby Nationals takes place this weekend at the Madison United Cottage Grove complex with matches Saturday and Sunday.
Info on schedules, the clubhouse pub, tickets, and more can all be found here.
Expect a big local crowd to support local teams from Catholic Memorial HS, Divine Savior Holy Angels HS, Hamilton HS, and Muskego HS. DSHA's JV team will also participate (the first time their JV has ever compted there as well).
Grandville HS out of Michigan is the only other representative from the Midwest this year.
The East is represented by two Buffalo-area teams from City Honors HS and Orchard Park HS. Both these teams participated last year. They played last weekend for their state championship, with Orchard Park winning 56-0.
Once again, two representatives from the West are in the national tournament; only this time they both hail from Rugby Idaho. Rocky Mountain HS won their state title last weekend against local rivals Eagle HS, 36-14. Eagle HS made a big impact at nationals last year with several strong performances and they are now joined by Rocky Mt in their first-ever appearance.
The South is represented by Columbia Central HS from Tennessee, fresh off their state title two weeks ago. A repeat rep from last year as well, Columbia Central has been putting up big scores in their local competition.
