GRR: Gonzaga
Almost a month after Georgetown Prep and Gonzaga battled to a 26-26 tie, the two teams almost ended this week's game deadlocked once more.
In the end, Gonzaga capitalized over Georgetown Prep's penalty problems and inability to secure their own lineout to win in dramatic fashion 18-13.
Gonzaga defeated Vienna this weekend in a clash of the #5 school team and the #29 HS club.
The game itself was rough on Vienna as a red card and general indiscipline undercut their performance. Too many errors also didn't help as Gonzaga was more cohesive and put together and eventually won out 35-15.
In a stormer of a game that certainly lived up to its billing, St. Ignatius of Cleveland defeated Gonzaga of Washington DC 38-26 in a crossover match in Morgantown, WV.
In a clash between two school teams that have a long and stories rivalry, Gonzaga HS defeated Xavier 19-0.
Gonzaga's defensive effort was very strong, and it had to be as Xavier threatened to score several times and camped out on the Gonzaga tryline for about eight minutes.
Gonzaga High School played its first official game Wednesday, running into a more seasoned Georgetown Prep side and coming away with a 26-26 tie.
