GRR: Eastside Lions
The Eastside Lions will play Camas in the Washington state Boys HS final after the Lions won this weekend.
Eastside were already set to play in the final, as they entered the final regular-season game at 7-0. But Camas, idle this weekend, were hoping Liberty would lose this game. Had Liberty won, the Patriots would have been 4-3-1, just ahead of Camas at 4-4.
On a splendidly sunny day at Lake Stevens Community Park, the Eastside Lions and Chuckanut Bay Rugby Club faced off in an entertaining match that ended up with an emphatic victory for Eastside.
In the picturesque setting of Starfire Stadium, amidst conditions perfectly tailored for the rugged elegance of rugby, the Eastside Lions Varsity and Liberty Rugby Club clashed in a spectacle that had the honor of setting the stage for the Seattle Seawolves vs the Dallas Jackals match.
