GRR: Southern California
Torrey Pines defeated Cathedral Catholic 25-21 Friday night to move into 2nd place in Southern California’s Varsity Red.
In a thrilling game, lock Blake Richards-Smith scored a try with eight minutes to go to put Torrey Pines ahead, a lead they would not relinquish.
Rugby in the winter for girls in Southern California has been about 7s, as teams that struggle for numbers are able to play.
The tournaments have mostly been about getting experience - no tournament winners - but this weekend it all culminates in an end-of-season event that will show us who is strongest.
It’s playoff time in most of Southern California, while the chase for a spot in the Varsity Red final continues.
Here’s a rundown of what’s been going on, and what to expect:
Even without a playoff, the Southern California Varsity Blue division came down to the final game, with 4-0 Point Loma HS taking on 4-1 Valhalla.
And in a classic close game, Point Loma emerged victorious 36-27 to cap off an undefeated conference season. There is no playoff series in the Blue Division, so it's all down to who wins the league standings, and that's Point Loma.
The playoff teams in Southern California’s Varsity White division are confirmed after this past weekend’s results.
View Park Prep shut out Dana Hills 44-0 to secure the third playoff spot in the Los Angeles Conference. Mira Costa had already wrapped up #1, and St. John Bosco received a forfeit win over Wilson to take 2nd.
