Clairemont's Undefeated Honey Badgers Rugby Team Takes on High Tech High Tomorrow Night

Honey Badgers in Action!

Did you know Clairemont has a high school rugby team? They are called the Honey Badgers and they are really good!

Find out for yourself this Friday, January 23rd when they play High Tech High at the Clairemont High School football stadium. Never been to a rugby game? Then this is a great one to start with!

Because Clairemont is a combined team UCHS/CHS, they’re not allowed by league rules to compete in the HS playoffs. (They’ve combined to get interest and programs started in both schools). Both High Tech High and Clairemont are undefeated going into the final week of regular season.


HTH will be ranked #1 going into playoffs (which the Honey Badgers won't play in) so this is for all intents and purposes, the boys' chance to say they are #1 overall.

This Friday's match is important in our San Diego High School Rugby community since we will have the top 2 teams playing each other for what is called the Mettle Cup. Our Honey Badgers are the defending champions and look forward to this match all year long, especially since they are not qualified to compete in the playoffs. The team is thankful to CHS for the use of the facilities.

Need more motivation? Come on down at 5:30 and eat some FREE BBQ before the varsity game starts at 6:15. And if you love it, stay for the JV game at 8!

Go Honey Badgers!
