GRR: Southern California
The Woodlands cruised through much of a very active weekend, but ran into a bit of a brick wall on Sunday.
Southern California's Boys HS Clubs got back into preseason action this past weekend, with the South OC Raptors and Thunder Rugby coming out victories, albeit in two very different ways.
It was a runaway for Thunder against La Jolla, with Thunder winning 84-13.
In the second week of Southern California preseason games, the South Orange County Raptors pulled off a mild upset, beating La Jolla 36-26.
Marcus Nguyen scored three tries in the win with Asher Hannon added 11 points with a try and three conversions. Addison Barrette and Mike Lewis added tries for the Raptors.
Advocating and working with other sports can help rugby get back on the field, especially for high school teams and leagues.
Southern California's boys high school season will be a little different this year but it's still inching its way forward, and this weekend three teams met for a series of shortened games to get the party started.
