GRR: East HS Utah
In a meeting of the two very strong single-school teams in Utah, Herriman defeated East HS 49-34 Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.
East Rugby out of Salt Lake City, Utah defeated the visiting East Rugby from Denver, Colo. last weekend and the hosts came away with a well-taken 36-10 victory.
Herriman and East HS will meet in the Utah Youth Rugby school final next week after both won semifinals over the weekend.
These two teams met in the regular season on April 8 with East pulling out a 29-27 victory, so the final promises to be hotly contested.
East HS upset Herriman 29-27 Saturday in Utah Youth Rugby's school league.
It was a good showing from East, who hit Herriman hard and fast and who also kept out of the penalty trouble that has sometimes plagued them.
In the last two weeks East HS in Utah has beaten the defending state D2 champs (Brighton, now in D1), and the defending state single-school champs (Highland).
