GRR: Northern California
Here’s a quick look at Boys HS rugby along the West Coast.
It’s spring break in Oregon, so there’s only one round-robin, and that’s in the Varsity division. But there is more action elsewhere.
The Northern California Youth Rugby select side program has named its squad to face the England Lambs U18 team Sunday, March 29, at Ray Sheeran Field on Treasure Island in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Golden Gate club will host the event, which kicks off at 1pm.
The battle for top spot in Northern California's boys HS club Sacramento conference is basically down to two teams now as Granite Bay defeated Sierra Foothills 27-5 Friday night at Granite Bay's field.
Jesuit of Sacramento improved to 5-0 in their defeat of one of their chief rivals in Northern California, Dixon.
Dixon dropped to 4-3.
Danville is solid atop the Northern California Varsity Gold Bay conference as they beat one of their biggest rivals for the HS club championship, Hayward, 45-19 this past weekend.
That Danville was able to win speaks to the team’s quality, but that they won by so much speaks even louder. Danville Head Coach Jon Straka said it was still a difficult contest.
