Arizona Playoff Matchups Set
Arizona Playoff Matchups Set
The playoff matchups for the Arizona Youth Rugby boys hs division are set after this weekend's results.
In the key game, Scottsdale played El Mirage in a matchup that would decide who has to play three-time defending state champions, Red Mountain, and who avoids them. Scottsdale pulled away late 39-31 to win. Desert Vista, looking to finish in the top four won a crucial decision 36-24 over Old Pueblo in Tucson. Red Mountain, meanwhile, had a make up game Friday night against East Valley and won 74-7, and then played Hamilton a day later and won 91-0, capping off an undefeated league season.
Red Mountain will play El Mirage next Saturday at 10am and Scottsdale will play Desert Vista at the same time for a spot in the State Championship game. The final will be played as a curtain-raiser to Arizona State's second annual Rugby Bowl game on April 18.
