GRR: Utah Youth Rugby
Utah Youth Rugby's fall HS 7s season comes down to this weekend and there's plenty on the line.
United Boys won the opening tournament, beating Herriman 28-24 in the final. Herriman responded last week, beating United 24-21 in the final.
So this week's tournament decides who's on top.
The East HS Leopards are looking ahead to the Utah Youth Rugby playoffs and are in relatively good shape.
East had a ton of trouble with Highland a week and a half ago, falling behind 20-12 and eking out a 27-27 tie.
But the team rebounded this past weekend, beating Las Vegas Rugby Academy 41-5.
The West Valley Warriors continue to win rugby games in Utah and defeated a strong United team 46-21 over the weekend.
Inside center Heamasi Lutui has been a tough player to contain and No. 8 Sousa Moeai has combined nicely with flanker Ethan Manu to control the forwards.
Herriman defeated Highland 31-14 on Friday night at Herriman High School in a high-level clash of Utah teams.
Herriman HS defeated Olympus 26-0 in a tough, physical game at Herriman HS last Saturday, winning a meeting between two ranked teams—Herriman is #4 and Olympus #12 in the FloRugby Single-School rankings.
