GRR: Southern California
Here's a quick look at what has been happening around Boys HS rugby through the USA.
Of course our scores page article said five states were in action when really it was seven ... some stealth launching from Arizona and Georgia threw us off, but here goes regardless:
Los Alamitos Boys have hit the ground running in Southern California.
And that's a good thing seeing as the team hasn't played 15-a-side rugby since 2019 thanks to the COVID pandemic.
"It feels great to have a full team again," said club president Steve Faupusa.
Carlsbad, Los Alamatos, and Coronado all won in Southern California's Winter Multi-School Varsity season.
With wins over Los Alamitos and View Park Prep, and a forfeit win also, Long Beach Poly has put a big stamp on the early part of their girls HS season.
The First Annual So-Cal Holiday Scrum Down was held at La Jolla High School this past Saturday.
Torrey Pines, Carlsbad, San Marcos and La Jolla all competed in a round robin of scrimmages featuring JV and Varsity teams. It was a great Saturday evening of rugby that also brought in over one hundred gift donations for Toys for Tots.
