In the final sevens tournament in the Mid-Atlantic Region the Maryland Exiles finally got the result they have been looking for against North Bay winning 27-14 in the final. North Bay has been the top team in summer sevens this year with Head Coach Marty Maurice leading his team to first place finishes at Cowpie Sevens, Philly Cheese Steak Sevens and Splash Sevens.
The Dixon HS 7s were held last week, with Danville taking the Boys Varsity DI bracket, and the Land Park Harlequins taking the Girls Varsity bracket.
Land Park went on to show well at the NAI 7s in Salt Lake City.

Let’s be our better selves.
The Bay Area HS All-Stars played two touring sides this July and came away convincing winners in both games.
Bay Area defeated St. Peters College out of Gore, New Zealand 29-7 led by some strong work from Marshall Ferris at flyhalf and Jeffrey Briez at scrumhalf. Carlos Gomez, Christian Bucklin, Jason Severance, Tala Talapusi, and DJ Alapati all scored tries for the Bay Area team.
