Here's how to watch the 2022 Boys High School Nationals - Club on FloRugby.

The 2022 Boys HS Nationals starts on May 19, 2022, and runs until May 21, 2022.

High School Club Division

No. 1 Granite Bay (Placer County, California)

Northern California is always a force to be reckoned with in the high school rugby world, and Granite Bay, located in the Sacramento metro area, enters this year’s club division bracket as the top team. Despite a loss to De La Salle earlier this month (who isn’t at nationals due to finals and graduation), the ever-present No. 1 in Goff’s Rugby Report’s rankings is a force.

No. 2 Woodlands (The Woodlands, Texas)

The Woodlands put the Lone Star State on the map in 2021, snatching fourth place as the first Texan team to make the nationals field in a decade. Now considered one of the favorites to take the whole championship outright, will the kids from the Houston area pull it off for the state? There’s some impressive results on the resume that could help that cause, including against Thunder Rugby and St. Thomas Aquinas. 

No. 3 Belmont Shore (Long Beach, California)

One of the top dogs in Southern California for decades, Belmont Shore is back at the forefront of the national conversation once again after missing out on the nationals last season. In a highly-competitive region featuring three clubs that have moved on to Indiana, Belmont Shore might be the best one of them.

No. 4 United (Alpine, Utah)

Despite plenty of representation at the college and pro levels, Alpine has never placed in the top four at nationals. This year, they’re seeded fourth, proving its worth earlier this season with a thrilling draw against fellow national qualifier and title-hunter Herriman. Could this be the year United makes its name known with a statement run against the best in America?

No. 5 San Diego Mustangs (San Diego, California)

A loss to Belmont Shore earlier this season was countered by a solid win against South Orange County Raptors, leaving it fitting that the Mustangs are right in between the two headed into the national rounds. Fourth-place finishers in 2019, San Diego was bumped back up to the top level from Tier II in 2021 and will aim to make the return appearance special.

No. 6 Aspetuck Valley (Fairfield County, Connecticut)

The Connecticuters are holding their own in the rugby-frantic northeast, having beaten Xavier and drawn with Staples earlier this season. Founded merely a decade ago, Aspetuck placed third for its highest finish at nationals in 2021 and will be in the hunt for a similar placing this time around, too.

No. 7 Tempe (Tempe, Arizona)

The boys from the desert played right until the end in a tight loss to Granite Bay before the nationals, and the Arizona powerhouses could easily pull off a shock and get themselves into the thick of the hunt for top marks. The Junior Devils won a state championship earlier in the month and will be riding high as they look to make their mark in the Midwest.

No. 8 South Orange County Raptors (Orange County, California)

It’s already been touched on, but the Raptors play in arguably the toughest area for rugby in America, but it’s worth reiterating the point—SOC will be far from a pushover. The Raptors will also immediately get an anticipated rematch with Granite Bay after being defeated by the top seed 24-17 earlier this month.
