Congratulations to our 2026 High School Boys Player of the Year - Francis Burke from Elizabethtown Blues Rugby

Francis is an extremely versatile player who can play any back position. His experience and understanding of the game are at a high level. He also has the physical skills to make big plays on offense and defense. He hits like a flanker and has great acceleration and finishing speed.

This season, Francis moved back to what is probably his most natural position, scrumhalf. As our team’s #9, he has averaged 2 tries per match. He finds gaps, breaks tackles, and has finished numerous long runs with tries. His passes are accurate in both directions, which takes pressure off the fly-half (his brother). He motivates and directs his forwards and is the first one to praise them for their efforts. Francis also has a very accurate boot from a tee and shares the kicking responsibilities.

Francis will be competing as a Division 1 wrestler Franklin & Marshall Athletics. He balanced wrestling and rugby training throughout the spring.

Francis is well-known for his defense. He is one of the best form tacklers in the state. He has prevented so many tries from being scored by his opposition with his open-field tackling.

It has been a lot of fun watching him play high school rugby, and he has shown many times that he is one of the best players in Pennsylvania.

Congrats Francis on a phenomenal season!

Here is the box score from the electric 34-29 semi final win!

Forward of the Match was awarded to Max Titter, scoring his first U18 try, and being the field general for our pack the entire 70 minutes!

Back of the Match was awarded to RT Ferris, for making consistent smart plays at 15, and then moving up to 10 for the last 20 minutes of the match when needed!

Hit of the Match was awarded to James Burke, going back to back with hits in the playoffs! James stopped a crucial possession, hit sticking the ball out of North Pitts possession and moving it all the way down to our try line!
