GRR: Belmont Shore
Southern California's Boys club season got a jolt over the weekend as the four teams expected to challenge for the championship were involved in two games.
SOC Raptors were downed by a solid Belmont Shore side 38-17. The Raptors did see Clarence Chaney and Jacob Bower score tries, while Keegan Hannon added a conversions and a penalty, and Redmond Chelsey also added a penalty.
Southern California club teams are finally get into the action.
This weekend we saw three of the top four SoCal clubs from last year playing.
The SOC Raptors visited Tempe in a non-conference game and came away with a 33-19 victory. The Raptors U16s beat Tempe's U16s 52-24. The Raptors Bombers side, basically their 2nd side of mostly U18s, beat Red Mountain.
We’re still looking over the NAI 7s and this here is a nod to Belmont Shore.
The Long Beach-based rugby program, which covers every age group, was hugely successful throughout the tournament.
Belmont Shore entered six teams: Boys U18, Girls U16, Boys U16, Girls U14, Boys U14, and Coed U12.
While Belmont Shore and Rhinos looked the stronger teams in the National Sevens Youth Rugby Championships girls bracket, Cleveland Rugby Academy got plenty of experience and continued to play better and better.
Belmont Shore won the Southern California in dramatic fashion Saturday, coming back from a 19-point deficit to defeat the San Diego Mustangs.
