High School Boys
Mira Costa HS logged a nice early result in the CIF league in Southern California this past weekend, defeating Fallbrook at Fallbrook.
It was a fairly convincing win for Mira Costa, but Head Coach Duke Dulgarian cautioned against getting too carried away with the result, saying Fallbrook is in a big rebuilding phase, which certainly appears to be the case.
We already have a big game on the slate this week in North Carolina.
Marvin Ridge is at South Meck; both teams won by the maximum last week.
North Carolina Opening Weekend Sees Top Teams Win Big
It's season-opening weekend for the CIF teams in Southern California.
The rugby community in the New York area was shocked last week to learn of the death of former national team player and recent Morris County HS Coach Troy Bartley.
A longtime standout in the front row for the New York Athletic Club, where he helped NYAC win multiple Super League titles, Bartley was a much-loved rugby man, teammate, and coach.
The first two Tier 1 games of the North Carolina school league ended with big wins for the favored teams.
NCYRU limits official listed winning margins to 35, so a 35-0 winning margin could well be larger in reality. But this allows teams to run on reserves once the result is not in doubt.
South Meck beat Clayton with the official score of 35-0 to start the season.
