GRR: Southern California
Southern California Youth Rugby has announced its Boys & Girls all-star coaches.
Richie Walker, who has coached the USA U20 Women's 7s team will coach the girls Griffins, and Matt Hawkins, former USA 7s team captain and former USA 7s team coach, will coach the boys Griffins.
The Mira Costa Mustangs capped off a perfect season, winning the Southern California Boys Varsity White Division with a 46-29 decision over St. John Bosco.
The Mustangs had run roughshod through the league and playoffs, but came into the final a little worried, as they were without their normal starting midfield.
With a powerful scrum and snappy backline performance, La Costa Canyon defeated Torrey Pines 28-19 Friday night to win the Southern California Boys Varsity Red championship.
Mira Costa goes into the Southern California Varsity White final undefeated and, generally, unworried.
As five-time National champions and home to numerous 7s and 15s HS All Americans, Fallbrook could hardly think much higher, but for Fallbrook coaches Marin and Craig Pinnell, there is always a new goal.
