GRR: Georgia Youth Rugby
Alpharetta Phoenix settled who are the best team in Georgia by beating previously unbeaten Lassiter Trojans 27-19 in the Georgia State Championship Final on Friday night.
The Lassiter Trojans and Phoenix Alpharetta will meet Saturday for the Georgia state HS championship after both won semifinals this past weekend.
The Georgia Boys High School state championships kick off Saturday with the chance for a shakeup in the hierarchy.
The Trojans RFC team from Marietta, Ga. clinched the Georgia Boys HS regular season this week with a 59-21 defeat of Mill Creek.
The Lassiter Trojans remain undefeated in Georgia HS rugby after upsetting top team Alpharetta Phoenix's A squad this weekend in a very physical encounter.
Phoenix, understrength and perhaps fatigued after their Ruggerfest Tournament win last weekend, struggled to answer Lassiter's strong pack and talented halfbacks Freddy Purdy and Shea O'Hanlon.
