High School Boys
While one of the Southern California Varsity Red semifinal scorelines was relatively one-sided (La Costa Canyon Rolls to Varsity Red Final), the other, held Saturday night, was as tight as possible.
The Georgetown Prep Hoyas traveled from their Maryland home to North Carolina to square off against the Charlotte Catholic Cougars in a match up of perennially ranked single-school rugby teams,
The Southern California Boys HS Varsity Red Division playoffs got going when the San Diego region #1 seed, La Costa Canyon, took on the LA region #2 St. John Bosco.
The Charlotte Tigers improved to 5-0 and defeated a major rival in North Carolina, edging the defending state champion Chapel Hill Highlanders 15-10 Saturday.
The Northern California rain subsided just enough for Jesuit of Sacramento to face off against the top-ranked HS club Danville Oaks Saturday.
In a defensive-minded, and very scrappy game, Jesuit ran out to first-half lead and held off a furious Danville comeback attempt to win 20-11.
