High School Boys
It will be Orange Lutheran vs Los Alamitos in the Southern California Single-School final next week after both won semifinals this weekend.
Los Alamitos, which had lost a nailbiter to Torrey Pines way back in December, handed Torrey Pines their first league loss of the season. In an entertaining contest Los Al pulled out 24-19 winners.
Northern California's club regular season officially kicked off with the first Premier League game, but there was some other action of note, too.
Marin, by two first-half tries from No. 8 Tomasso Visentin and two second-half tries from wing Matt Reilly defeated Mother Lode 54-12 to open their league account.
Hough will play Marvin Ridge in next week’s North Carolina School final, providing fans with a replay of last year’s championship match.
Both teams won their semifinals Friday night via shutout.
Hough won comfortably over Sun Valley, taking the game 56-0 (officially listed as 35-0 per NCYRU rules). But when we get to knockout rugby all bets are off about winning margins.
Well, well, now we're into it, aren't we?
It was an odd week what with the Torrey Pines vs Carlsbad game being abandoned.
