GRR: Southern California
Orange County, Calif.—Southern California Youth Rugby has joined forces with Next Phase Rugby to support the thousands of SoCal youth in their move beyond high school and club play towards collegiate rugby.
Belmont Shore won the Southern California in dramatic fashion Saturday, coming back from a 19-point deficit to defeat the San Diego Mustangs.
There's a lot going on in Lucca Deocariza's life and rugby is just part of it.
Welcome to our first Player of the Month award. We asked for nominations for a Player of the Month from our readers, making it plain that we were looking for high school student-athletes, boys or girls, who were accomplished on and off the field.
Belmont Shore defeated the SOC Raptors 24-17 Saturday to advance to the Southern California HS Club final.
As has been the case this season the games between the top four, this contest was close.
(Games between Belmont Shore, Raptors, San Diego Mustangs, and Thunder were, on average, 30-20, with four of the six games within a try.)
Coming out of Southern California action undefeated and with an almost perfect defensive scoresheet, Fallbrook Girls were favorites to contend in the U18 Girls Elite bracket of the Tropical 7s.
