GRR: Utah Youth Rugby
Utah Youth Rugby’s fall 7s championships produced a big surprise in the girls bracket.
Wasatch/Provo, which had struggled to find victories over Majestics and United in the early going this fall, ended up beating those opponents in the state final tournament to win it all.
Layton Christian won both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Utah Youth Rugby Boys HS fall 7s.
Under coach Tongia Vaitki Layton Christian has emerged as a real 7s power. Layton's 2nd side was dominant in the Tier II throughout the fall.
In Tier 1 it wasn't so easy. LCA dropped a game to East HS and was chasing a very good Olympus side much of the season.
After an opening week that was somewhat muddled, the Utah Youth Rugby Girls Fall 7s season has clarified a little with Majestics getting some separation from the competition.
Olympus and Layton Christian remain atop the Utah Youth Rugby boys fall 7s list after the second weekend of action.
LCA beat Kearns 45-7 and Herriman 21-12 but dropped a 27-19 decision to East HS.
That was East's first win over the fall as they skipped the opening tournament and they lost to Herriman and Olympus in a rough opening list of games.
Girls fall 7s is heating up; here's a quick rundown.
Knightmare Rugby came out on top in Rugby Pennsylvania's opening weekend, going 4-0 on a day where no other team won more than two.
Chasing Knightmare were Downingtown (2-2), Doylestown (2-1-1), Wes Carroll out of Maryland (2-1-1), and West Pittsburgh (2-2).
