St. Pius X has made a bit of statement in Rugby Texas with two big wins in as many weeks.
After beating Kingwood 60-0 a week ago, St. Pius shut out a solid St. Thomas team 10-0. In a tense, defensive-minded, and not always perfect game, Pius put the pressure on St. Thomas for much of the game and got two scores - which was enough.
The Mira Costa Mustangs clinched 1st in the Los Angeles conference of the Southern California Varsity Red division with 39-10 defeat of St. John Bosco
Both Mira Costa and Bosco went into the game undefeated in league play at 4-0. Both were already securely in the Varsity Red semifinals, but a win here would give the victors home field advantage.
The Chapel Hill Highlanders thumped North Raleigh 53-12 in North Carolina league action Friday night.
In a tight, dramatic Southern California Varsity Red game, La Costa Canyon clinched 1st in the San Diego conference with a 14-13 win over Torrey Pines.
It was senior night at Torrey Pines, (free hotdogs for the first 100 students, teacher appreciation night) and with two 4-0 teams meeting up, there was a huge crowd at the game.
Well over 70 boys HS rugby games are on tap for this weekend - check back for scores as we update.
