GRR: HS Girls
The Montana Girls select side might have lost all of their games at the Great Northwest Challenge, and might have struggled even to score, but even getting to Oregon was a victory.
After a shaky 2014, the Washington Loggers girls program bounced back with a sweep of the competition in the Great Northwest Challenge.
The Loggers defeated Hawaii 24-5 and then Oregon 45-12 on Saturday, and then Montana 80-0 in the semis and Oregon 22-12 in the final on Sunday.
The Washington Loggers took the Great Northwest Challenge Girls Varsity bracket, outlasting a tough Oregon team 22-12 in the fins Sunday at the Hidden Creek Polo Club in West Linn, Ore.
The Loggers were paced by two tries from No. 8 Emily Prentice and two from flyhalf Leah Ingold - Ingold also kicked Washington’s lone conversion.
The Celtic Elite girls team is 2-0 in the Midwest Regional Cup after a solid first day in Rockford, Ill. as the Ohio select side beat Illinois 37-5 and Wisconsin 41-17.
Populated mostly by players from St. Joseph’s Academy, but with several other programs providing players, the Celtic is coached by Jamie Cleary - a coach who was in a very good mood on Saturday evening.
Here are scores form the two HS all-star tournaments being held this weekend, with the Midwest Regional Cup in Rockford, Ill, and the Great Northwest Challenge in West Linn, Ore.
