GRR: Rugby Arizona
Tempe won the Arizona D1 state title with a 34-17 defeat of Phoenix on Saturday night.
The game was very close early on and Tempe held a slim 12-10 lead at halftime. But paced by three tries from outside center Tu Pauga, Tempe pulled away in the second half.

So here goes:
Arizona's competitive balance continues to be shaken up and that's a good thing.
Phoenix is rising up and could be a contender, while Tempe remains a force. Scottsdale is definitely a team to watch and they won again this week, beating Brophy Prep in convincing fashion 69-21.
Snow and cold weather hit a few parts of the country not ued to it, so we had a few cancelations and postponements.
The Louisiana teams battled through some snow, although we did have one game moved to later because of the snow. Bless their hearts down there in the bayou but they don't really have the resources to handle a snowstorm.
