GRR: State Championship
Grandville successfully defended its Michigan state championship, defeating Traverse City 56-0 for its second-straight title. The Bulldogs are now 20-0 over the previous two fall seasons.
The Grackles were the favorites heading into the Rugby Oregon girls high school 7s championship last weekend, but the reigning fall and summer 7s champion had played some close games during its undefeated season. To boot, the Grackles’ best player – Sui A’au – was absent for an official visit tot Lindenwood University.
Doylestown’s done it again. The reigning girls high school 7s champ has added another title to the record books, going undefeated at last weekend’s state championship and defeating Downingtown 12-5 in the final.
Michigan begins its girls high school post-season this weekend, and has an unconventional set-up that gets all of the teams involved. There are two pools of three, and each group will play a round robin on Sunday. The victors from each pool will play for the state championship the following weekend.
Although New York and New Jersey award separate 15 titles in the spring, the ranks thin in the fall as other sports contend for athletes’ attention.
