GRR: Mira Costa
The SoCal Interscholastic Rugby Federation league has kicked off with two weeks of games leading into the Christmas break, and while there's plenty of rugby to be played, two teams have gotten off to a 2-0 start.
Jesuit of Sacramento concluded a quick trip to Southern California, taking on three well-regarded single-school teams, winning one and losing two.
There's just the one game this weekend in the SCIRF HS league.
These are teams that adhere to California Interscholastic Federation regs, and are working to get CIF certification for rugby in high school.
The Mira Costa Boys HS team will probably be cheering for Life this weekend in the D1A men's college final, given that alumnus Justin Johnson is the Running Eagles' starting flanker, but they will also be cheering for Life in the women's final four.
St. John Bosco made a bit of a statement this weekend with a 28-21 defeat of Mira Costa in the Southern California Varsity Red league.
