The Lamorinda club pulled off an impressive win this weekend, beating Bishop O'Dowd 34-19 in Northern California.
Lamo started slowly but were able to find their rhythm thanks in part to their all-star-level players. Captain and lock Lama Tongauiha set the tone with his imposing physical play. Prop Sana Saga, last year's Lamo rookie of the year, also was a bit of a battering ram. Out wide wing Will Paumau was fast and elusive.
For Bishop O'Dowd, their select-side players such as center Elliot Lewis, No. 8 OC Lehner, freshman prop Eli Burnside, and flyhalf Felix Davis were very good, but the power of Lamorinda's carriers made the difference.
