GRR: Torrey Pines
St. Francis of Northern California is the undisputed All-California single-school champion after the Lancers beat Torrey Pines 33-24 Saturday night in San Diego.
Torrey Pines won the SoCal single-school final Saturday night in San Diego, defeating Loyola of LA 41-12 behind a very effective kicking game.
The Falcons did not have an easy time of it and while they eventually won by 29, the game was far from a runaway.
The big game in Southern California saw the top SoCal Youth Rugby single school team against the leading SCIRF team in Cathedral Catholic.
These teams are both feeders for the San Diego Mustangs club, so it was a bit of a Mustangs cup. And in a very, very well-played game played in front of a robust and loud crowd, the teams played to a 28-28 tie.
Almost 30 games are on the schedule for Boys HS rugby this weekend.
This even though the Storer Classic is, unfortunately, canceled due to the LA fires. We don't know if any other games are affected by the wildfires, but it certainly is possible.
Orange Lutheran put a bit of a scare in Southern California's top team Torrey Pines over the weekend.
