GRR: Southern California
The Mira Costa Mustangs capped off a perfect season, winning the Southern California Boys Varsity White Division with a 46-29 decision over St. John Bosco.
The Mustangs had run roughshod through the league and playoffs, but came into the final a little worried, as they were without their normal starting midfield.
With a powerful scrum and snappy backline performance, La Costa Canyon defeated Torrey Pines 28-19 Friday night to win the Southern California Boys Varsity Red championship.
Mira Costa goes into the Southern California Varsity White final undefeated and, generally, unworried.
As five-time National champions and home to numerous 7s and 15s HS All Americans, Fallbrook could hardly think much higher, but for Fallbrook coaches Marin and Craig Pinnell, there is always a new goal.
The undefeated La Costa Canyon Mavericks took on the winless Poway Titans under clear skies on an unusually warm February night Friday to finish up the Southern California Varsity Red regular season.
Both teams had numerous players missing due the long weekend, but to both team’s credit they were able to field full rosters of 23 players.
