GRR: Morris
Fairfield Prep make a bit of a statement this weekend with a shutout win over New Jersey's Morris club.
Rob Murphy scored 18 points on two tries and four conversions, while Anthony Dorsi and Rob Murphy also picked up a brace as Fairfield won 57-0.
Morris won its first ever New Jersey state HS club title over the weekend, beating Union 34-17 to get there.
Facing a very big and physical Union side, Morris went into the game with a specific game plan:
Make the Union forwards chase the game all over the field;
Emphasize quick ball from the rucks and quick use of that quick ball;
The Charlotte Cardinals won the inaugural girls bracket at the Gonzaga Classic, putting an impressive stamp on the competition by beating Morris in the final.
But they weren't the only team that showed well, as the girls teams showed that bringing them into the Gonzaga Classic was a very good idea.
Some Boys HS results of note around the nation.
The big one, of course, was Okapi over Woodlands. In a very tight game neither team scored until the 20th minute. For both teams, this was something of a shocker. Woodlands generally scored at least 40 in every game and they often score early. For Okapi to hold them scoreless until the 26th minute was surprising.
Siena College served as neutral-site hosts for Fairfield Prep (Conn.) and Canisius (NY).
It was a big win for Fairfield as they ran out 65-0 winners. Charles Dooley, Nick Vittoria, and Wally Wuchiski all scored two tries each.
