High School Boys
The Bayous Hurricanes swept aside an imposing opponent in the Deep South Boys HS league with a 17-5 defeat of defending regional champions St. Paul’s.
This was a game that had all sorts of bad blood in 2015, but was played in a fine spirit Saturday and a good level of skill.
The Mira Costa Mustangs capped off a perfect season, winning the Southern California Boys Varsity White Division with a 46-29 decision over St. John Bosco.
The Mustangs had run roughshod through the league and playoffs, but came into the final a little worried, as they were without their normal starting midfield.
With a powerful scrum and snappy backline performance, La Costa Canyon defeated Torrey Pines 28-19 Friday night to win the Southern California Boys Varsity Red championship.
A week from now Westlake will face Lake Travis in a rematch of the 2015 Rugby Texas final, but before that happens they’ve got to get on their league competition horses.
Lake Travis will face Plano in their opener, while Westlake faces Jesuit-Dallas.
The Bayou Hurricanes are 3-0 and St. Paul’s are 2-0 in Deep South High School conference play, and just to make things perfect, the two teams clash in Raceland, La. Saturday.
