High School Boys
In a battle of the #3 single-school boys HS team and the #2 HS club team, Jesuit of Sacramento defeated the Granite Bay Grizzlies 31-22.
The game was as expected, hugely physical and tight throughout. Jesuit was only able to pull away in the final team minutes. Down 22-21, the Marauders got a try, converted, and a penalty to seal the deal.
Once again a gentle reminder that several of the leagues around the country could do a better job reporting scores. Texas has been really good of late, and Oregon is outstanding in general. Some other states don't even have a schedule up yet.
