GRR: Rugby Washington
The Pacific Northwest has returned to select-side competition with the newly-named Sasquatch Invitational.
Following on from the old Great Northwest Challenge, which was held for over 15 years Pre-COVID, this tournament offers rep teams from western states the opportunity to compete and improve their skills against other state or regional rep sides.
Midweek games give us a chance to look at some of the other HS action around the country and what's coming up.
Playoffs loom in several states.
Fairfield Prep over Loudoun in Gonzaga Classic Varsity Bracket
Eastside continued their strong run of results in Washington state with a 31-8 defeat of rivals Liberty at Pat Ryan Memorial Field.
This was an intense clash between two very good teams. Liberty started off with a blast, making a penetrating run down the right wing that took some desperate defense from Eastside to prevent an early score. It was an early wakeup call for the Lions.
The Rainier Highlanders held off the Eastside Lions to win the Rugby Washington Boys HS final this past weekend.
It was a tight playoff throughout as Rainier beat Liberty only by 19-14 in the semifinals. Eastside, the #1 seed, took down Budd Bay 31-5.
Summer high school 7s is back in the state of Washington and already we've seen the reawakening of a rivalry.
