High School Girls
East Idaho’s Rugby Rendezvous was, in Bingham United boys coach Ryan Woodland’s opinion, a success - 11 high school boys teams and three high school girls teams came out to the pre-season event to see where they stand against their competition and see where to go from here.
Fallbrook Girls HS team got past one of their more difficult opponents in Southern California this past weekend, defeating ICEF 51-19.
It was a classic game of two halves, with Fallbrook winning the first half, and ICEF the second, but Fallbrook’s control of the first 35 minutes was total.
Southern California Youth Rugby has announced its Boys & Girls all-star coaches.
Richie Walker, who has coached the USA U20 Women's 7s team will coach the girls Griffins, and Matt Hawkins, former USA 7s team captain and former USA 7s team coach, will coach the boys Griffins.
Both Danville and Bishop O’Dowd headed into their Northern California Girls HS bout coming off large wins, and with an eye toward being top in the Bay Conference.
Previously, Danville notched a 68-0 win over Clayton Valley, and Bishop O’Dowd took home a 52-17 victory against the Crusaders. Danville was favored, but in the end Bishop O’Dowd put up more of a fight than expected.
As five-time National champions and home to numerous 7s and 15s HS All Americans, Fallbrook could hardly think much higher, but for Fallbrook coaches Marin and Craig Pinnell, there is always a new goal.
