GRR: Southern California
The championship game matchup in the Southern California CIF Platinum league is almost confirmed, as St. Augustine and San Clemente are in the best position to face off for the title.
In one of the biggest high school games of the weekend, Corona Centennial scored a late try to tie Murrieta Valley 22-22 and leave both teams tied at 3-0-1 in the Southern California Varsity White OC Inland Conference.
High School rugby expands throughout the country as more and more leagues get going, and one league is almost close to wrapping up.
This week, we see some key early clashes in Louisiana, the start of Florida Youth Rugby's league games, and the road to SoCal's single-school playoffs.
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.
