MTSU tops rival Nashville in 7s final
December 4, 1994
Water and December weather in East Tennessee don’t mix.
A Middle Tennessee State University player found that out the hard way at the third annual Santa Claus 7s on Dec. 3, 1994.
Seems the poor fellow drank a gallon of water trying to make the necessary 200-pound weight requirement.
He didn’t – and felt miserable the rest of the day. His teammates ended up feeling fine, dispatching Nashville in the championship.
Prelims
Nashville emerged from pool play as the top seed, going 3-0 and outscoring its opponents 97-5. MTSU was seeded No. 2 after going 2-0 in the prelims.
Nashville had a quarterfinal bye and then dropped the University of Tennessee in semifinal play by a 29-12 count. MTSU slugged Knoxville’s first side 26-7 in the other semi.
Final
MTSU struck first when prop Jay Johnson fed hooker Brandon Sentell off a loose ball to go up 5-0.
Moments later, MTSU center T.J. Westerman exploited an overload and put wing Brian Savasta away for a 40-meter try. Flyhalf Clete Ledford converted for a 12-nil lead.
Westerman chipped ahead following the kickoff, allowing Sentell to beat the cover and touch down his second try. Ledford converted as MTSU led 19-0 at the break. Savasta later added his second score and Ledford converted to end the final in MTSU’s favor at 26-0.
