GRR: Snow Canyon
The Annual Ra Puriri Invitational took place this weekend at Snow Canyon High School in St.
Snow Canyon came away from the Storer Classic feeling pretty good about its performance, as the St. George, Utah team defeated SFGG 15-0 and took down Danville 17-12.
The team logged these results despite only having a few training sessions together. However, some experienced players, especially the halfback pairing of Wyatt Parry and Andy Day, kept things together.
The Storer Classic college tournament is a January fixture on the UCLA campus, but the associated high school tournament is becoming the bigger event these days.
The Pacific Cup kicks off in Oahu on Thursday, with teams from Utah, California, Arizona, Hawai'i, Tonga, Cook Islands, and New Zealand in a highly challenging boys HS tournament.
The teams will play shortened games over the first two days, setting up the final full-length games.
The San Diego Mustangs defeated Snow Canyon in a meeting between one of the top teams in Southern California, and one of the top teams in Snow Canyon.
The game was played at the Army-Navy Academy Sports Complex in Carlsbad, Calif. The teams were evenly-matched early on as they probed each other with kicks.
