GRR: SFGG
Northern California's preseason produced some head-turning results just as teams are approaching the regular league season.
De La Salle put down a bit of a marker this week with a 24-3 defeat of then #13-ranked SFGG in Northern California.
It was a tight, competitive game, but De La Salle did well to hold SFGG away from the tryline.
SFGG’s 50-5 defeat of Lamorinda is another example of how strong the HS club might well be this year.
While several clubs, for High School and for men’s club have struggled to bounce back during the COVID shutdowns, SFGG turned lemons into lemonade by refocusing the energies of their men’s Head Coach, Neil Foote.
The results continue to be all over the place in Northern California Boys HS competition.
Granite BayGranite Bay pulled off something of a surprise with a 17-15 defeat of Jesuit. It was a strange day for Granite Bay Head Coach Chris Miller, who captained Jesuit many years ago, now found himelf marshaling his team through a rebuild and a defeat of his old team.
Northern California's first step into competitive HS rugby this year was a tentative one, but it still happened, and that's a little victory in and of itself.
