Summit HS in Oregon is leading the Rugby Oregon girls fall 7s quite handily with an 8-0 record. 

They showcased their dominance nicely in last week's tournament, beating Chinook 30-0, Highlanders 26-5, and Salem Snapping Turtles 51-0.

That has set them up in the quarterfinals against their own JV team, and as the playoffs start this weekend. Overall, in those eight wins, Summit has given up just 33 points, with almost all of that being in their first week of competition.

"Not to sound cliche but the entire team has bought into an expansive style of attack, a high work rate on defense, and focus on set piece and restarts," said Head Coach Stephen Lopez. 

The solid defensive numbers are certainly a reflection of the team's defensive prowess, it is just as much because they are controlling possession.

"We have very willing tacklers and several leaders who have really established a good team culture," added Lopez. "The Rugby Oregon Girls 7s season as a whole has been very competitive and there are numerous strong teams playing good rugby. The State Finals will be a challenge and we are excited to compete."

And certainly that is true. The East County Grackles Green team is 6-2 having lost only to the Valley Panthers and, of course, Summit. East County Blue Has only lost twice and is allowing less than 7 points per game. More notably, their loss to Summit was only 15-14.
