High School Boys
Southern California Youth Rugby ran a mini all-star tournament this past weekend, fielding regional select sides from around the area in an effort to help pick the Varsity and JV SoCal teams for later all-star competition.
Over the last couple of weeks, various teams have been in the middle of their playoffs and championship games.
This is our Gamebreakers column from this games, not including the Boys HS Rugby National Championships - we’ll have an additional edition for that one.
The Union Titans repeated as Oregon single-school champions last week, defeating the Portland Pumas 49-38 in the final.
It was a dramatic and difficult final for Union as they had defeated Portland fairly easily in the regular season. But since then the Pumas had improved markedly, and studied Union enough to cause them some real problems.
Regis Jesuit got some revenge this past week, defeating East HS in a close Colorado state final a year after East did the same to Regis Jesuit.
The 2015 final was 10-5 for East, and this game was only slightly higher-scoring.
The Mudturtles of Union County New Jersey won their fifth consecutive State Championship Saturday, beating Bridgewater, a team they lost to earlier in the season, 32-12.
