Bub's Player of the Week: John Donovan '04
By Sports Staff
And then there were just four, in this year's NESCAC Men's Basketball Tourney. The Jeffs went down to Hartford, they had earned the postseason journey. Playing at Trinity College, in the purple and white, they stepped on the floor, ready for a good fight. The other team was Williams College, this was the tie-breaker; But Amherst had John Donovan, he's been a clutch pointmaker. John stepped up and proved himself made eight of the first 14; six of them were from downtown, it was a Amherst Jeffs fan's dream. Amherst led by just one point, midway through the half, but after that the Jeffs took the court, and John never looked back. When the dust settled, the Jeffs were still there; John was good for 17, he left the Ephs bare. And then we faced down Trinity; the Bantams played really well. But Donovan chipped in with 16, and the Trinity fans he quelled. And now, the squad is back again, they have an invitation; and this Big Dance dosen't accept any pale imitations. So head on down to Bub's, John, and tell them you eat for free. That's the deal I'll give you, if you keep sinking those threes.
