High School Boys
Thunder Rugby backed up last week's 3rd-place win in SoCal with a 2-0 performance at the Pacific Invitational this weekend.
Thunder beat a very tough SFGG side 34-32 on Day One. The Thunder forwards got their team on the board first, and SFGG responded, and that exvhange was a harbinger of how the game would go.
The Eastside Lions defeated Camas 43-15 Saturday to win the Rugby Washington Boys HS championship.
We already have some results worth discussing here.
Somehow Belmont Shore did it.
Really, it wasn’t as if Shore was playing poorly, but after a loss to the touring Woodlands side from Texas and then in the regular season to the San Diego Mustangs, as well as a very nervy and close semifinal to the SOC Raptors, they were not favorites to win the SoCal Boys HS Club final this past weekend.
The rankings and the HS National Championship seeds are, no surprise, coming together to be about the same.
Our major shifts are then a bit lower down.
