GRR: Southern California
Two games this past weekend decided conference winners (or as good as did), and we've got a few more coming this weekend as the Southern California Varsity White quarterfinals loom.
Here's how things went down this weekend:
Two close games were all we needed to see this week in the SCIRF league in Southern California, as Cathedral Catholic and St. Augustine both won tight games.
St. Augustine moved to 4-0 with a 31-24 defeat of Torrey Pines. the Saints started well, with forwards Isaac Morrill and Michael Colucci helping set the platform for a potent attacking group.
Belmont Shore and Rhino Rugby Academy ran off with 3-0 records in a series of shortened games at the Storer Classic at UCLA.
The tournament, which is part of the annual collegiate Storer Classic (won by Cal), is a series of shortened games among teams from Southern California, Northern California, and Utah.
Twenty-four teams are expected to suit up this weekend in the Southern California Boys Varsity White league, and this is really the first big weekend of action.
Things only get more difficult for St. John Bosco as the SCIRF league moves on. Four games are on the slate for this weekend, and all four have significant implications.
