GRR: Utah Youth Rugby
It was a decent 1st day of competition for the Utah teams in the Boys Open bracket of the Victoria International 7s Friday in Victoria, BC, Canada.
The Utah Lions program is aking two boys U19 teams to the Victoria International Sevens in British Columbia.
The White team will play in the Boys Elite brace with three teams from the BC Elite 7s program, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy, EIRA Washington, Upright Rugby out of Ontario, and the Utah Cannibals.
In a close, tense encounter United Rugby Club defeated the Orem Stallions 18-10 to take the Utah Youth Rugby HS club title Saturday.
Snow Canyon won the Utah Boys single-school championship, defeating Herriman 16-15 on a rainy Saturday at the University of Utah on the final play of the game.
The two tams went back and forth in a tight contest, and while Snow Canyon played well in the early going, could only produce two penalty goals from Sam Slivers. Meanwhile, Herriman scored twice to lead 10-6.
The finals for Utah Youth Rugby's two Boys HS championships are set, with one major upset.
The Orem Stallions defeated the West Valley Warriors 27-14 to make the final of the Utah Multi-School playoffs. They will take on United, which defeated Wasatch 34-12 Friday night.
