Bub's Player of the Week
By Charles Franklin ’01
It didn't look likely for the Jeffs last week, there weren't that many more chances for feats. Fighting for the NESCAC, trying to get in, all Amherst needed was one more convincing win. Then they found themselves on Saturday, battling the Bantams with forty seconds left to play. Our Jeffs up by two, but they wanted to crush; get ready for the story of one more scoring rush. By who? Charles Franklin, a senior on the team. The Amherst secret weapon, living out his Rudy dream. Franklin took the field, and converted the play, and with that one swift kick, the Jeffs had their winning day. Charles scored a goal, his first net in four years, and even now the cheers are still echoing in his ears. He's waited a long time to have his Amherst way, and he helped the Jeffs live to play another day. They rolled past Trinity, left the Bantams far behind, and then against the Jumbos they continued to unwind. So head on down to Bub's, Charles, and have yourself a meal; and with your help, the Jeffs might get their sweet postseason deal.
