GRR: Northern California
It was a very tough week for Jesuit of Sacramento and their rugby team, and the week ended with less celebration than perhaps they needed, but that's life—sometimes you have tog out and do the thing when the circumstances are poor.
It’s a top-of-the-rankings meeting for the Northern California Premier final.
As expected De La Salle and Granite Bay will battle for the Northern California Boys HS Premier championship next week.
De La Salle won convincingly over SFGG 40-10, putting aside an earlier 21-19 result against Golden Gate as the Spartans start to piece things together.
In a fascinating game that went right down to the wire, #12 HS club team, SFGG, almost ... almost beat #2 school team De La Salle.
De La Salle, the #2-ranked school team in GRR's rankings, pulled off a nicely-taken win in Northern California this past weekend, handling Mother Lode despite being without a few regular starters.
Injuries have hit De La Salle a bit but Head Coach Derek Holmberg said he was confident with the team he took to paly Mother Lode.
