GRR: Cal Poly Humboldt
Wayne State College mounted a stirring, wind-aided comeback to overhaul a 15-0 deficit and defeat defending small-college champs Cal Poly Humboldt Friday in the NCR Men’s Small College semis.
Going into the NCR Small-College season, many felt that Cal Poly Humboldt and Babson had a serious shot to make it to the final.
Even the (mostly) trained monkeys working in the offices of GRR World Headquarters thought so. CPH had, of course, won it all last year, while Babson had emerged as Small-College 7s champs, so it seemed logical.
The NCR Men's Small College championship might get itself a repeat champion.
Cal Poly Humboldt celebrated its 50th anniversary over the weekend, welcoming alumni from every decade of their existence, and honoring their past.
Cal Poly Humboldt is opening its 2023 fall season Saturday by hosting Nevada-Reno, the first step on a journey to repeat as national small-college champions.
