High School Boys
St. John Bosco just managed to survive the Southern California Boys Varsity White final, as View Park’s storming comeback fell just a conversion short - St. John won 45-43 in a barnburner of a game.
St. John Bosco surged ahead early, using their big forwards to pound the lighter but faster View Park team.
Jesuit High School of Sacramento defeated Sierra Foothills 36-24 in Northern California HS club Varsity Gold action Friday night.
Boys HS Rugby starts to wake up after a long winter sleep for many states as the weather gets better.
It’s coming for many municipalities and schools to make March 1 the cutoff for us of fields, so the late February weekends are good for preseason tournaments.
So we come to several leagues just getting started:
The Southern California Varsity White division comes down to one game, as View Park Prep plays St. John Bosco Saturday in the final.
Both teams have improved drastically from the early going, as they got a few players back from football duty and injuries. At one point 2-2, View Park got it going at just the right time, beating Dana Hills and Mission Vista in high-offense efforts.
So early in the season we’ve still got two of the top Texas Boys HS teams facing off this weekend, as Dallas Jesuit (3-0) plays 2-0 Westlake.
Dallas Jesuit is actually 5-0, having beaten Memorial and Strake Jesuit in non-league games, as well as defeating Plano, Richardson, and Alliance. Only the Alliance game was particularly decisive.
