In February, Shelton willl be represented
among international rugb~y teams in Las
Vegas.
"Because the girls' rugby sevens team
won state last summer, we were invited to
the Las Vegas Invitational, which invites
teams t~om all over the world," said head
coach Chris Nesmith, head coach. "Our
bracket is for high school teams only."
The tournament runs from Feb. 10-12.
To attend the tournament, Nesmith said
the girls' rugby team needs to raise $5,000
for food, airfare, hotel and renting a car.
To raise this money, the girls' team is
hosting a silent auction and raffle from 4-7
p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Grove
Street Brewhouse. Entrance into the auc-
tion is free of charge.
"We had a booth at OysterFest, so a por-
tion has been raised but we're not quite
there yet," Nesmith said. "We're about
$2,500 short."
There will be a raffle, with tickets selling
for $2 each. At the auction, the team has
a few big-ticket items to offer, including a
rugby jersey signed by Waisale Serevi.
"Waisale Serevi is the Michael Jordan of
rugby and he plays for the Fuji team," Ne-
smith said. "Getting this jersey is like get-
ting an autographed Michael Jordan Chi-
cago Bulls jersey."
Serevi runs a rugby training business in
Seattle now and has run a camp that the
Shelton girls' team attended.
Another big-ticket item is a rugby jer-
sey signed by every member of the U.S.
team.
"The USA rugby sevens organization has
actually helped us out a lot and donated the
USA jersey," Nesmith said.
Nesmith said that the girls, team h~s
raised every cent to get everything they've
needed in the past. .... : ....
"The team takes nothing for granted and
we've gotten a tremendous amount of sup-
port from the community," he said:
One bit of support came from recently ap-
pointed Mason County Comissioner Steve
Bloomfield, who has helped the team get its
own jerseys. Until now, the girls' team has
been using jerseys from the boys' team.
"I thought it was a great thing for the
whole community to have this team out
competing at the national level," Bloomfield
said. "I thought it was unfortunate the team
didn't have its own jerseys and the commu-
nity didn't know more about them."
Bloomfield approached Seattle Shellfish
regarding the jerseys.
"I was working with Seattle Shellfish and
had for 10 years," Bloomfield said. "We've
had a policy for a few years to be a part of
the community. We want to give back to the
community."
Paul Herris, operations manager with
Seattle Shellfish, said the company has
helped out other young organizations in the
past and is arranging to purchase the jer-
seys for the girls' team.
"We're a part of the community and we
want to support the community and the
kids' programs," Herris said. "I knew there
was a rugby team but didn't know a lot
about it. When we were contacted about it
and their need, I though it was a great thing
to support."
If the funding comes through - and ac-
cording to the countdown clock on usasev-
ens.com/las-vegas on Thursday, Nov. 17
- the Shelton girls' rugby team will be com-
peting against teams from around the world
in approximately 84 days.
Shelton junior Katie Chapman holds onto the ball durJ
match last summer. Chapman is part of the Sl elton ru
team, which has been invited to the Las Vega Invitati
tional tournament February 10 through FebrUary 12.
