GRR: Mira Costa
New Zealand touring side Rangitoto College faced off with SoCal single-school champs Mira Costa this past weekend in what turned out to be a real back-and-forth contest.
Mira Costa, which won the SoCal Varsity White Division back in February, hadn't played as a unit since then, but is now gearing up for a run at the Boys NIT. This game with Rangitoto was quite the wakeup.
The Mira Costa Mustangs capped off a perfect season, winning the Southern California Boys Varsity White Division with a 46-29 decision over St. John Bosco.
The Mustangs had run roughshod through the league and playoffs, but came into the final a little worried, as they were without their normal starting midfield.
It’s been an intriguing and slightly wild weekend in the Southern California Boys Varsity White quarterfinals.
Mira Costa opened their Southern California league season with a 46-19 victory over Dana Hills in the SoCal Varsity White Divison, LA Conference.
Brothers Justus and Jonah Tavai were hugely influential in the game, with Justus, the senior inside center, a physical force with the ball in hand, and running the offense as well, while sophomore No. 8 Jonah created all sorts of havoc.
Southern California’s HS 7s season wrapped up with the San Pasqual 7s at the beginning of August, and, no surprise, Los Angeles won.
