National Championship

So many good stories coming out o fhtis year's high school girls national championship.  A full write-up will appear in a few days.

But, the big news is that DSHA fell to Lakewood.    Lakewood had never beaten DSHA before and they did it impressively coming through with a 19-0 victory.  Lakewood got on a nice run, upending the #3 and #2 seeds to make the final.  More on this later ....

In the other semifinal, Catholic Memorial made a statement early, against #1 Fallbrook, scoring a try two minutes into the match.  In a GREAT back and forth match, Fallbrook went into the half leading 17-15.   The second half Fallbrook pulled away a little late to win 28-15.  A full write-up later!

So, Sunday's championship features Fallbrook and the #6 seed, Lakewood. 

For third place, DSHA and Catholic Memorial will repeat their great rivalry and rematch their Midwest Championship match.   Great to see three of the top four teams i will be from the midwest this year.

On another note, the East Coast teams both played impressively with Donwingtown giving DSHA a run for their money in the first match and the West Carroll v CMHS game a fantastic 10-0 battle.  West Carroll defeated the Amazons and will battle for 5th place against Kent.  

A lot of close, competitive matches this year!!!
