GRR: Gamebreakers
Mickey Bateman was the MVP of the 2015 USA Rugby College 7s National Championships, and around that same time, Sam Chapman was suiting up for his high school team, the Kansas City Junior Blues.
Norwich University scrumhalf Tom St. Pierre was the sparkplug this past weekend as the Cadets defeated Middlebury 30-14.
St. Pierre scored a two tries to go with the try he scored against Rhode Island the week before, with that pair against Middlebury helping stake his team to a 15-0 first-half lead.
Despite Iona's loss to West Point last Friday, some Iona players showed themselves to be very handy, and perhaps the handiest was Jon Petteruti.
The Iona flanker and captain was a force, making big runs up the middle, helping set up Iona's lone try, and playing hard-nosed defense.
A couple of years ago Corey Graham missed a season with Notre Dame College because of illness, but the slick-running flyhalf is all fine now, and making other teams pay.
We use the term Gamebreaker to mean a rugby player who has made an impact, but it seems especially relevant when we talk about Jihad Khabir.
In a game that was very close between New England College and American International College, Khabir scored two brilliant tries to blow open the game and ensure a win for AIC.
