Torrey Pines defeated St. Francis 31-14 to win the All-California single-school championship.
(This championship does not include the SCIRF teams as it's played between the winners of SoCal Youth Rugby and Rugby NorCal). This takes the championship to Southern California for the first time. De La Salle took 3rd over San Clemente in the 3rd-4th game.
Aspetuck defeated Xavier 26-12 in a big win for the Connecticut team.
After a couple of tough results in which they were missing some key leaders, Aspetuck bounced back with a strong performance.
Herriman defeated Olympus 33-19 in a tense, competitive early-season matchup in Utah.
Motherlode made the trip to Danville to face the Oaks in their Rugby NorCal Premier Division league game.
Clear skies and a dry field help the Oaks play to their strengths with quick, sharp ball movement. Motherlode kept pressure through tactical kicking from their flyhalf Bryn Jones.
