GRR: Rugby Arizona
After winning the Arizona state title and then a long rest, Red Mountain is ready to measure themselves against some of the top teams in the county in the Pacific Cup.
The Pacific Cup invitational is set to kick off on Thursday, with eight HS teams from the western part of the United States.
Red Mountain capped an undefeated season in Arizona as they beat Scottsdale 47-19 Saturday.
In a physical, hard-nosed game, Red Mountain controlled the pace for much of the first half and took a 26-7 lead into the break.
Arizona held its DI and DII Boys HS semifinals this past weekend.
In DII, Old Pueblo defeated Hamilton in a game that was tight early on but Old Pueblo ran away with it late to win 50-24. The second semifinal was a lot closer, with North Valley, only a year removed from playing in the DII final, facing new team East Valley. North Valley prevailed 27-22.
The playoff matchups for the Arizona Youth Rugby boys hs division are set after this weekend's results.
