California rugby state championship: De La Salle beat Los Alamitos to capture third state title since 2019.
MORAGA — De La Salle athletic director Leo Lopoz lifts the trophy and celebrates with the DSL team. De La Salle defeated Los Alamitos in the 2024 California single-school championship at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. on March 2, 2024 The De La Salle senior ran through the mud, brushed aside desperate Los Alamitos arm tackles, and then burst into open grass for a brief sprint before the burly 220-pound bowling ball dove for the Spartans’ fourth score.
MORAGA — De La Salle’s Chris Biller scores a try in the second half. De La Salle defeated Los Alamitos in the 2024 California single-school championship at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. on March 2, 2024 Alex Goff, who covers the sport nationally on his “Goff Rugby Report” website, told the Bay Area News Group that California has roughly 40 high school teams participating at the club level and more rugby players than any other state.
Goff says that Spartans, who have had a rugby program since 2003, benefit from boasting former standout players such as Biller Sr. on the coaching staff. Biller’s try, the rugby equivalent of an American football touchdown, was one of five tallied by the Spartans. MORAGA — De La Salle’s Sione Manoa scores late in the game. De La Salle defeated Los Alamitos in the 2024 California single-school championship at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. on March 2, 2024 Sophomore Jimmy Rainsford, whose position as the team’s 8-man is similar to a defensive midfielder in soccer, crunched ballcarriers and also pushed forward whenever he got the ball on a lateral.
“This means a lot, especially since rugby is an up-and-coming sport in America,” Biller said. “For a high school game to be this packed and for there to be this much crowd noise, it’s really uplifting.”
