GRR: Tournaments
Thunder Rugby backed up last week's 3rd-place win in SoCal with a 2-0 performance at the Pacific Invitational this weekend.
Thunder beat a very tough SFGG side 34-32 on Day One. The Thunder forwards got their team on the board first, and SFGG responded, and that exvhange was a harbinger of how the game would go.
Gonzaga vs Charlotte lived up to the billing to cap off the Gonzaga Classic, a tournament that provided some outstanding competition throughout.
Gonzaga made the final with a difficult 14-0 semifinal win over Shawnigan Lake. The BC side had some good scoring chances but couldn't quite finish and Gonzaga did just enough in their semi.
Day One at the Gonzaga Classic saw some surprises and some teams true to form, especially within the Boys Premier.

The Gonzaga Classic boys competition promises to match up some high-level boys HS teams.
In the Boys Premier, 12 well-regarded teams face off.
Pool A sees #1 Gonzaga with Fairfield Prep and St. Louis University High. Fairfield has logged some good results of late while SLUH has shown flashes and probably would want a few close losses back.
The girls Gonzaga Classic promises to be a bit of barnburner this weekend.
Several national-level teams are in action, with Aspetuck perhaps leading the way after a pretty impressive March and early April.
