St. John Bosco has crushed their two opponents, dominating up front and using their forwards to make life miserable for the opposition. But it's not Bosco in 1st place, it's St. Augustine. The Saints have won comfortably in all three games, including 45-24 against a La Costa Canyon team that has plenty of potential.

St Augustine beat La Costa Canyon on December 22. The Saints were successful in playing a territory game early and pressured LCC from the start. Pressure and smart field position play saw St. Augustine go up 31-0 by halftie. The game opened up later in the second half and La Costa Canyon enjoyed some scoring opportunities, and went over four times. The Saints were led by Aidan Konja, who scored two tries and converted two in the 45-24 victory.
Next up will be four games January 12, with Cathedral Catholic finally able to get leagues games in.
