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

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

Single-School Division

No. 1 St. Ignatius (Cleveland, Ohio)

Bursting onto the scene with its highest-ever finish (second) in the single-school division this past season, St. Ignatius is looking for gold this time around. Dominant in their home state of Ohio, St. Ignatius has been on top of the charts for much of the spring in Goff’s Rugby Report’s High School rankings and is the favorite to take the crown.

No. 2 Gonzaga College Prep (Washington, D.C.)

A household name in high school rugby, the four-time national champions have built a powerhouse under longtime coach Peter Baggetta, full of collegiate and Major League Rugby stalwarts. But the Eagles will likely need to get through St. Ignatius (and others) to snatch another title—and the Clevelanders have already beat Gonzaga once this season.

No. 3 Herriman (Herriman, Utah)

The defending single-school national champs hail from a suburb of Salt Lake City. The team is interestingly a bit of a spirit club to past national powerhouse Highland, with many former Highland players now coaching Herriman. Before Herriman bolts off to Indiana, the two programs will battle for the Utah state title in a matchup with plenty of personal meaning before the national championships. 

No. 4 St. Thomas Aquinas (Overland Park, Kansas)

Long considered the Kansas City area’s top team, STA won a Tier II national title in 2017 but hasn’t quite been able to get over the hump and prove it at the single-school level. Coach Tim Kluempers’ team is still a strong one, however, hardening itself with a tour of Ireland to prepare to see the very best in America later this month.

No. 5 Sacramento Jesuit (Sacramento, California)

No team in the country since the current single-school format began in 2008 has won more national titles than Jesuit, whose six first-place finishes leave the Marauders as a consistent threat at the national championships. California is a rugby hotbed, and the boys from the capital will look to do The Golden State proud once again. 

No. 6 Staples (Staples, Connecticut)

Staples did the business a year ago at the national championships, coming home to Connecticut with a respectable fourth-place finish. It might be even better this time around. Featuring wins over fellow national qualifiers Xavier and Greenwich, Staples got a taste of silverware a year ago and will be looking to repeat—or better.

No. 7 Greenwich Cardinal (Greenwich, Connecticut)

Losses to Staples and Gonzaga this season have stung, but the Cardinal have put up three scorelines of 60 points or more this year and can definitely burn unsuspecting teams. The bad part about that is that Greenwich’s first opponent at nationals, Gonzaga (of which it lost 33-5 to in April) is not that.

No. 8 Xavier (New York City)

Having been around since 1976, Xavier has seen a thing or two in its time. as a club, But their most recent national championship was back in 2010. The New Yorkers snuck into the national field this year, after also being a No. 8 seed this past season. Getting past St. Ignatius in its first matchup, however, will be a tall task.
