High School Boys
San Marcos won a close one of the weekend, but what's new?
The Southern California Varsity White team defeated rival San Pasqual 20-17, moving to 4-1 and 1st place in the SoCal Varsity White San Diego North division. But it's worth noting that all but one game San Marcos has played has been decided by less than a try.
What's up in Boys HS Rugby this week? Let's have a look:
The 34th Annual Kickoff Tournament starts up Jan 27-28, with over 130 teams at high school level down to under 10.
The event, held in Sacramento, is California-heavy but also features teams from Washington and Hawaii. Played on nine fields over two days, the tournament requires the assistance of 74 referees, 14 of them coming in from Canada.
La Costa Canyon put in an impressive result this past weekend, defeating Torrey Pines in the SoCal Varsity Red division, moving to 4-0 with the 21-7 victory and knocking off LCC's main rival.
The Chapel Hill Highlanders opened their season with a 54-0 shutout of Spring Hill at the Myers Park Stampede preseason tournament.
The Highlanders got three tries each from Seamus Brennan and Emmanuel Sevon, while Ben Austin and Ryan Niemiller each score two. Lawrence Bridges - back after a year away - kicked seven conversions.
