GRR: Northern California
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.
SFGG and Granite Bay battled to a 25-25 tie on Saturday in a game that served a couple of purposes.
For SFGG, the result spelled out some reason for confidence as the league season progresses. Head Coach Tony Wells said he’s getting the culture right and the players are starting to see how much hard work goes into succeeding in Northern California.
Jesuit HS in Sacramento had all they could handle this weekend after they took on CK McClatchy in a non-standings NorCal Premier matchup.
McClatchy is in the 2nd group of Premier teams, and Jesuit in the 1st, so this crossover game didn't count in the standings, but it certainly mattered to both teams regardless.
Well over 70 boys HS rugby games are on tap for this weekend - check back for scores as we update.
