GRR: Northern California
Danville Oaks handed Jesuit of Sacramento another close loss in what has become a wildly competitive NorCal Premier HS league.
Of the nine games in NorCal Premier played so far, four have been decided by a try or less.
Northern California’s Premier league is now underway and Granite Bay put up an impressive marker with a 29-22 victory over Jesuit of Sacramento.
Senior Carter Keller was outstanding for Granite Bay. The openside flanker showcased a high work rate and was, said Head Coach Chris Miller, “a tackling machine.”
St. Francis beat De La Salle 31-22 Saturday to win Northern California’s single-school final.
The speed of play and athleticism from St. Francis was impressive, with center
Kingston Keanaaina scoring two tries on the day. Naia Alatina also scored twice while Hunter Gosset added one.
De La Salle remains atop the NorCal Single-School D1 after the Spartans beat St. Ignatius SF 45-21.
Three tries from center Jimmy Rainsford led DLS to their 4th straight win in the competition. Head Coach Derek Holmberg had praise for Ignatius, saying that the Wildcats are "really well coached and the players played with a lot of heart. Really impressive for a second year program."
