GRR: Torrey Pines
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.

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.
One of the big developments in Southern California's school-team seasons is the easing of the division between the SoCal Youth Rugby teams and the SCIRF teams, and that has led to a big game Tuesday night in the San Diego area.
