High School Boys
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.
The Annual Memorial Day Sevens Festival took place in Alpharetta, Ga. on Saturday in a variety of age-grade brackets.
The teams enjoyed perfect weather and played in front of a large crowd. Phoenix Rugby of Alpharetta won the HS division, beating the North Carolina All Stars 68-12 in the final.
Delbarton repeated as the New Jersey single-school champion, defeating St. Augustine 27-14 Saturday.
The two teams met recently, with St. Augustine winning that game, but Delbarton got revenge Saturday.
