Granite Bay and Danville are both unbeaten in Northern California league play and will be the top two going into the playoffs.
Danville defeated De La Salle 22-7 in a game that really had no bearing on the playoff seeds. Still, it was De La Salle's Senior Night so they were up for it. DLS got an early try from Chris Biller but some good play from Ethan Younger set up an an answer from Danville. A nice counter on a clearance kick that failed to make touch put Danville ahead at halftime. Superb defense from the Oaks pretty much sealed the game after that, and they scored twice while DLS had a player in the sin bin.
But with Granite Bay winning it was clear Danville would be #2 anyway and DLS #3 and so this coming weekend they will meet again on the campus of Saint Mary's College.
Jesuit won twice this weekend to vault up to #4.
Senior Night saw them handle Motherlode 52-19, and then they took on SFGG a day later, winning 38-20. Motherlode gave plenty for Jesuit to handle and showed plenty of skill. It was 14-10 at halftime but Jesuit was able to wear them down late.
On Saturday, on a very warm day in Sacramento, SFGG took an early lead, but Jesuit got a penalty try and a penalty goal from flyhalf TJ Pappas. It was 10-10 at halftime.
Once again Jesuit pulled away late.
