Houston, Texas will play hoist to Ruggapalooza, a preseason high school rugby tournament for teams in Texas.
The tournament, invoking ten teams, including one new to play this season, will be belt at the Houston Sports Park, the practice facility of the Houston Dynamo soccer team.
The Mira Costa Mustang Rugby team took the pitch at home in a battle for first place against a very physical View Park Prep side in the Southern California Varsity White division.
The University City HS rugby team’s first victory of the year was off the field, as the Honey Badgers were able to reach the 70% threshold to qualify for SoCal’s Varsity White playoffs.
(Varsity White requires at least 70% of a team to be from one school.)
Mira Costa takes on View Park Prep in an important game for both teams in the Southern California Varsity White league.
Costa is 2-0 after beating beating Servite HS and with the Tavai Brothers powering through defenders, they are all kinds of solid this season. But they will have a strong opponent in View Park Prep, which is a little unlucky to be just 1-1.
Sixteen teams are expected to be in action this weekend in Southern California’s Varsity White division.
In the Inland Conference, the Dead Rabbits club leads with a 3-0 record, having beaten all the other teams in the conference the first go-round.
