The Kickoff Tournament in Sacramento gets the HS and younger seasons going in Northern California.
The tournament, thanks to grants and donations, has been able to refurbish the fields at Cordova HS in Rancho Cordova, Calif. The fields are in excellent shape and as a result, despite some HS teams holding their own preseason events, the KOT has added teams from last year.
The San Diego Conference of the SoCal Varsity Blue seemed settled after the first weekend, when Valhalla dropped a 12-5 decision to San Marcos, but in fact things were just getting started.
While most Northern California HS teams have been getting one or two preseason games in, or are waiting for the Kickoff Tournament in Sacramento, Pleasanton has been very busy, playing and beating five teams so far.
The Rugby Arizona season started this past weekend with Blackbirds beating Desert Vista 45-7 and Scottsdale downing El Mirage 36-19.
Defending champion Red Mountain didn’t get to play their game as Salpointe forfeited, but it’s fair to say that Red Mountain is, once again, the team to beat.
Rancho Bernardo may have lost their opening league game in the SoCal Varsity White San Diego division, but since then, it’s been nothing but win.
After the opening loss to Mira Mesa 29-19, the Broncos have defeated Mission Vista, San Pasqual, and, most recently, Alta Vista.
