The Northern California Bay Area select side has won the Great Northwest Challenge Boys Varsity bracket.
NorCal Bay Area, NorCal Sac Valley, and Southern California all won their pools on Saturday and advanced to a three-team championship round-robin on Sunday. In the opening game, Sac Valley defeated SoCal 25-10, and then Bay Area beat SoCal 29-10, cinching 3rd for the Griffins.
It's going to be a Californian champion at the Great Northwest Challenge in the Boys Varsity Bracket after all three California teams won out.
Here are the scores from the Boys brackets at the Midwest Challenge Cup all-star tournament.
The Boys Varsity complete their round-robin games Sunday. Only one more game is slated for JV and the Middle School games are done.

The only major HS all-star tournament West of the Continental Divide kicks off this weekend in Corvallis, Ore, with a massive feast of rugby at the Great Northwest Challenge.

It’s a small tournament, and as such one where almost anything can happen.
The Midwest Rugby Challenge will see two Illinois select teams in the Boys Varsity Bracket, as well as the Indy Speed and Des Moines.
