Paced by some strong work from lock Cole Taft, hooker Jon Puckett, and center Erich Storti, De La Salle edged St. Augustine in the All-California Single-School 3rd/4th match Saturday.
This was played as part of the two-game curtain-raiser series before the Cal-UCLA game. Jesuit won the state title with a win over St. John Bosco. De La Salle ran out to a three-try lead at halftime, but Austine roared back to make a game of it. The teams traded the lead, but De La Salle held on at the end, 43-40.
