Your Saints Rugby program capped off the 2024-2025 season with a DOUBLE win at Mira Costa ๐๐๐ฝ๐
The Saints developmental squad started the day with a physical win, beating MCโs JV team 40-10.
The Varsity headliner concluded with a 47-14 win for the Saintsmen. With a tight scoreline of 21-14 at the half, your Saints made necessary adjustments to run away with a 26-0 second half. After the game, multiple coaches from the opponentโs staff commended our players for their dynamic style of rugby, with onne even stating โThat was the the best half of high school rugby I have every seenโ.
Man of the Match honors go to the Senior Alex Kemp. The staff has said time and again, as our playmakers go, so goes the team. Good thing for the Saintsmen, Alex was on a roll over the weekend, playing well on both sides of the ball. The agile loose forward created and exploited space all over the field, and his decision making and ex*****on off of penalties kept the pressure on the opposing team. Forward of the Match goes to Senior Geno McKenna. The hard-running prop has been a force in the scrum all year, and his ability to create overloads facilitated many successful plays on the weekend. His go forward really showed in Mira Costaโs red zone, as the big front rower dominated at the breakdown. Back of the Match is awarded to Senior inside centre Caelyb Aguirre. The pivot man on attack really opened up the Saintsโ offense coming out of the half time break. After spreading the Mustang defense, Caelyb did well to cut through lanes up the middle.
The Saints staff would like to thank all the Saints Rugby families and fans for their overwhelming love and support this season! The program is blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful tribe around the boys.
The Saints JV squad has one more week of training before a JV Championship against Cathedral this Friday night.
