GRR: NorCal
De La Salle won the single-school cup competition in Northern California, upsetting Jesuit of Sacramento 19-10 to win it.
This was the first time ever that De La Salle has beaten Jesuit in rugby.
Jesuit played well and were quick to the breakdowns and played with skill, but De La Salle was very physical and stuck to their defensive structure nicely.
Belmont Shore and Rhino Rugby Academy ran off with 3-0 records in a series of shortened games at the Storer Classic at UCLA.

It's been a wild Northern California Boys HS Premier season, and it's now down to two teams, as Danville and Jesuit won semifinals over the weekend.
The April 9 NorCal matches have revealed who will be continuing on for the cup, plate, bowl, and shield this coming weekend for the Northern California Girls HS Championships. Or did they?
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.
