GRR: Fallbrook
Fallbrook edged St. Augustine 14-13 in the SCIRF league, clinching, just barely, a place in the league final against Cathedral Catholic.
"A very intense game," said Fallbrook Head Coach Sierra Arteaga, who was on the last Fallbrook team to make a major regional final. "It was great to be a part of it."
Who plays Cathedral Catholic in the SCIRF Boys final will be determined this Saturday as the two teams with only one loss face off.
That one loss for Fallbrook and for St. Augustine was, of course, to Cathedral (who are 7-0).
This promises to be a tight game, with the two teams having had very similar results against the same opponents.
Fallbrook and Cathedral Catholic both won in SCIRF action this weekend.
Cathedral moved to 3-0 with a 47-7 victory over La Costa Canyon. Fallbrook rode a solid defensive effort to defeat Mira Costa 24-3.
St. Augustine, Cathedral Catholic, and Fallbrook are all atop the SCIRF league now after all three won over the weekend.
Led by a solid effort from prop Gabe Mendoza and with fullback George Aquilar showing plenty of skill, Fallbrook beat Warren HS 57-12 to move to 3-0 in the league, which is the best record because the other two teams have only played twice.
The SoCal Interscholastic Rugby Federation league has kicked off with two weeks of games leading into the Christmas break, and while there's plenty of rugby to be played, two teams have gotten off to a 2-0 start.
