High School Boys
Rugby Virginia will hold its playoffs this coming weekend at Culpeper Sports Complex in Culpeper, Va., with at least 25 teams in action throughout the day.
There's a lot going on in Lucca Deocariza's life and rugby is just part of it.
Welcome to our first Player of the Month award. We asked for nominations for a Player of the Month from our readers, making it plain that we were looking for high school student-athletes, boys or girls, who were accomplished on and off the field.
Here's a quick look at what's happened around the country this week.
Belmont Shore and the San Diego Mustangs won their SoCal semifinals and will advance to the final next week. Meanwhile, further North, De La Salle won Northern California in dramatic fashion.
Cape Fear defeated Clayton 33-32 in the North Carolina to make the state final.
Clayton came out strong and played some exciting rugby. Fear was playing their first game without two of their leading scorers in center Dev Gardner and wing Zay Arrington as they had football commitments, but Eli Rivera, Cohen Cortes, and Mason WIseman all filled in for them and all played well.
Belmont Shore defeated the SOC Raptors 24-17 Saturday to advance to the Southern California HS Club final.
As has been the case this season the games between the top four, this contest was close.
(Games between Belmont Shore, Raptors, San Diego Mustangs, and Thunder were, on average, 30-20, with four of the six games within a try.)
