Southern California HS League Kicks Off
Southern California HS League Kicks Off
After a long preseason period, Southern California sees high school rugby return.
Several very highly-regarded clubs are in action this weekend after several weeks of preseason clashes. Perhaps a little hard-done-by not to get an invitation to the Boys HS Rugby National Championships, Thunder Rugby has something to prove.
Belmont Shore remains a talented outfit, while 2019 National Boys HS Club champion, Back Bay, is in a bit of a rebuilding phase and opted not to apply to nationals this year as they retool. That doesn't mean they will be a pushover.
And the SOC Raptors, which have been invited to nationals, are looking to continue surprising teams. The San Diego Mustangs will be at Thunder Rugby this weekend, while San Clemente visits the Raptors and Belmont Shore hosts rivals Back Bay. The combined Aztecs/OMBAC side has a bye.
Here's the full Boys HS schedule (there is also a full schedule for the JV teams):
