Brother Rice vs Neuqua at Morton West at 4pm. It’s a great sport to see live.

Neuqua is going for the 3-peat.

Would live to see it. Is it streaming anywhere?
Great question. A few family friends have kids on the team. I’ll see what I can find.

JV State title game is before. Marist v Neuqua I believe.

Ruby is not a IHSA sport it’s a club. So they can give out a trophy but no IHSA trophy.



Like the Lacrosse cup few years ago


I am aware of that, just wondering how many teams there are in Illinois

I’m not sure. There are a few teams that are always good. Neuqua, BR , Notre Dame de La Salette, NT, Rita, Caravan.

Any idea how many Illinois high schools have Rugby teams?

Most of the teams that are the better teams have rugby teams. A few years ago Lincoln way had a team that had east central and provi players on it

Interesting location. I would have figured it would be at Gaelic Park or the Blaze field
For some reason or another it has been at MW as long as I have been following it. Central location? Weird, indeed.

Varsity finals are cancelled. Neuqua JV beat Marist for the JV title.

I didn’t go but heard it was an amazing game all the way to the end. Congrats to Rice.
