Caloundra State High School remains in the hunt for the coveted Langer Trophy with a five tries to nil shut-out of Sunshine Coast rivals Mountain Creek State High School.
In a clash of the two state school powerhouses, the home side were too hot to handle in a one-sided second half display on Wednesday.
A double to strike centre Kallum Murphy and a solo try to star fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan proved the difference in the 22-0 win.
Toby Poole’s side now take on Redcliffe State High on March 23.
Caloundra led 6-0 at the break and laid on points despite losing five-eighth Jack Philp for 10 minutes for a professional foul.
Philp would later return to the field for a match sealing play.
Poole said he was satisfied with the win but said there was plenty of work required for the side to advance over Redcliffe.
“It was tough early on, a real arm wrestle, but the pleasing thing was our defence which kept turning up,” Poole said.
“Our competitions need to be better though, so we have work to do against Redcliffe who are always strong.”
Back rower Jayden Smith was hard to handle while prop forward Chase Paterson had a running battle with Mountain Creek’s big man Mason Kira.
In his comeback game from an ACL injury, Murphy bagged a double while star fullback Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan laid on one try with slick hands and produced a solo try for the highlights reel.
“He’s like a Ferrari in the shed who comes out to play, he’s electric,” Poole said of the fullback.
“But our hooker Jake Sommerville, he was my man of the match. They threw everything at him and he didn’t miss.”
Mountain Creek coach Sam Mawhinney said the team had growth in them and would enter the Gee Shield aiming to win it.
“We have a strong side and showed glimpses of it today but they were the better side,” Mawhinney said.
For Mountain Creek, halfback Finn Lawson made a strong showing, captain Brock Thomas led from the front while backrowers Kira and Spencer Abbott bent the line back.
