Around the Country in HS Boys Games
It's a busy weekend around the country in Boys HS rugby, as some leagues are getting started, and others heading into playoff-decision time; here's a look:
Fallbrook Downs ICEF
Fallbrook Girls HS team got past one of their more difficult opponents in Southern California this past weekend, defeating ICEF 51-19.
It was a classic game of two halves, with Fallbrook winning the first half, and ICEF the second, but Fallbrook’s control of the first 35 minutes was total.
SoCal Names All-Star Coaches
Southern California Youth Rugby has announced its Boys & Girls all-star coaches.
Richie Walker, who has coached the USA U20 Women's 7s team will coach the girls Griffins, and Matt Hawkins, former USA 7s team captain and former USA 7s team coach, will coach the boys Griffins.
Mira Costa SoCal Varsity White Champs
The Mira Costa Mustangs capped off a perfect season, winning the Southern California Boys Varsity White Division with a 46-29 decision over St. John Bosco.
The Mustangs had run roughshod through the league and playoffs, but came into the final a little worried, as they were without their normal starting midfield.

With a powerful scrum and snappy backline performance, La Costa Canyon defeated Torrey Pines 28-19 Friday night to win the Southern California Boys Varsity Red championship.
