GRR: Southern California
New Zealand touring side Rangitoto College faced off with SoCal single-school champs Mira Costa this past weekend in what turned out to be a real back-and-forth contest.
Mira Costa, which won the SoCal Varsity White Division back in February, hadn't played as a unit since then, but is now gearing up for a run at the Boys NIT. This game with Rangitoto was quite the wakeup.
The Deep South Boys HS final is set for this weekend with the Bayou Hurricanes taking on Jesuit of New Orleans.
Jesuit, led by big Will Waguespack and shift Case Ellis, and some big plays in the scrum, defeated defending champs St. Paul’s in the semis this week.
Meanwhile, Bayou Hurricanes hammered the Barbarians behind another big game from Zavier Triplett.
The San Diego Young Aztecs won two games over the weekend - neither easy - to complete a late-season surge to get the 3rd playoff spot out of the Gold South.
On Saturday the Young Aztecs edged Try-City 30-25. And then on Sunday they needed a win over the Irvine Rhinos, and got one 43-26.
Santa Monica v Back Bay was one of the most anticipated clashes of the Southern California HS club league, and it didn't disappoint.
Despite the rainy conditions the game went ahead and turned into a tightly fought contest that saw the Santa Monica Dolphins triumph 28-11.
As Spring Break recedes into the past it's all-on for HS rugby teams around the country.
