GRR: Northern California
It’s a top-of-the-rankings meeting for the Northern California Premier final.
As expected De La Salle and Granite Bay will battle for the Northern California Boys HS Premier championship next week.
De La Salle won convincingly over SFGG 40-10, putting aside an earlier 21-19 result against Golden Gate as the Spartans start to piece things together.
In a fascinating game that went right down to the wire, #12 HS club team, SFGG, almost ... almost beat #2 school team De La Salle.
De La Salle, the #2-ranked school team in GRR's rankings, pulled off a nicely-taken win in Northern California this past weekend, handling Mother Lode despite being without a few regular starters.
Injuries have hit De La Salle a bit but Head Coach Derek Holmberg said he was confident with the team he took to paly Mother Lode.
There's a long list of solid teams in Northern California, and there seem to be few easy games, but at the same time, all eyes seem to be on Granite Bay and De La Salle at the top.
