Herbet & Dismuke Heading to 7's Camp

Quotes from the article:

USA 7s coach Al Caravelli has some changes to make as the overseas players are expected to remain with their clubs, and other players are looking at XVs Eagles callups.

Caravelli will hold a two-week camp starting Sunday. The first week will include half of his squad, and will focus more on general rugby skills and fitness, therefore allowing those players to be set up for any type of assembly, 7s or XVs.

This first group will be young players and those relatively new to the USA 7s setup, and then the more experienced players will join the team.

Among those new guys, Richard Herbert, a former high school football standout who played gridiron at Cal Poly before switching to rugby. Herbert is a 6-2, 220 flanker who runs a 4.5 40 yards. He is quick, big and physical.

Grant Dismuke is a small, wiry speedster from Cal Poly who got a track scholarship to CPSLO and ran a 10.6 100 meters.

Mustangs too Good for UCLA

The Mustangs got another big win against the Bruins of UCLA, this time at Pennington fields on Saturday in Arroyo Grande. Cal Poly was able to score from long distances for most of the day, leading to exciting plays all over the field. A number of mustangs scored more than once, including team try leader Grant Dismuke, Flanker Matt Bargman, number 8 Ryder Ross, and Center Jeff Van Meter. It was an impressive day for Cal Poly, with the final score 73-15. Next the Mustangs head to Arizona to face the Wildcats on Saturday.

Poly Tops Gauchos

Cal Poly had another stellar league performance Friday night in Santa Barbara, under the lights in UC Santa Barbara’s soccer stadium. Cal Poly dominated all aspects of the game in the first half, and jumped out to a big lead early. The gauchos were able to tighten up defensively in  the second half and break the Mustang defense once in the second half, but Cal Poly controlled the ball for most of the game. Among the try scorers were Richard Herbert (2), Jeff van Meter, Thomas Miller, and Alex Murchison, with fullback Richard Harte on the conversions. The final score was Cal Poly 38-10 over UCSB, with the Mustangs looking forward to hosting UCLA next Saturday at home.
