GRR: Jesuit
Jesuit, Danville, and Granite Bay won in the Northern California Premier league, and two had kind of a rough time of it.
Granite Bay moved to 3-0 in the Premier League with a tough 26-19 victory over Mother Lode.
Led by flyhalf Brian Bauer and the hard running (and soft hands) of prop Joe Marchant, the Jesuit Marauders overcame crosstown rivals Christian Brothers 47-14 over the weekend.
While many teams used the Vegas weekend to take a break, Jesuit was able to field a solid team that dominated play for long stretches.
Jesuit of Sacramento moved to 2-0 in the NorCal Premier boys HS league after a tough 37-12 defeat of Mother Lode.
The Northern California rain subsided just enough for Jesuit of Sacramento to face off against the top-ranked HS club Danville Oaks Saturday.
In a defensive-minded, and very scrappy game, Jesuit ran out to first-half lead and held off a furious Danville comeback attempt to win 20-11.
It's not often you get a #1 v a #2 HS game in February, but we have one this weekend.
