GRR: Northern California
The Inaugural game of the newly formed Girls Middle School Division for Rugby NorCal took place at the 7th Annual NorCal Girls Rugby Kick-Off Festival this last Saturday, Jan 16 in Elk Grove. Rugby NorCal has four full Girls Middle School teams this season.
Boys High School teams from Northern and Southern California, as well as Utah, will meet up in the Storer Classic this weekend.
The Northern California Boys HS season will kick off at the end of January, with some significant changes.
The big shift is that the Varsity Single School Gold and and Varsity Gold divisions have been eliminated in favor of a merged division of the strongest programs from both single-school and club.
The Danville Oaks won the Boys HS 7s in Northern California, defeating Jesuit 40-12 in the final.
In the Voys Varsity Gold bracket, Jesuit defeated Granite Bay 35-7 and Sierra Foothills 7-5 in pool play and Dixon 40-5 in the semis to make the final. Danville defeated Davis 28-12 and Dixon 31-21 in pool play before getting by Granite Bay to face Jesuit.
The 2nd weekend of the Dixon Youth Summer 7s series is in the books and it was a good Sunday for Danville, as they came away with bracket victories for both the Boys Varsity Gold and Girls Varsity Gold.
