Builders take Mariners Classic with 60-0 win over Maritime

Throggs Neck,  NY

Sophomore Sam Arnold ran for a career high 202 yards as the Apprentice School defeated Maritime College 60-0 in the second Mariners Classic at Reinhart Field on the campus of Maritime College on Saturday.

The Apprentice School started scoring early as senior quarterback Kyle Franklin found fellow senior Travis Reid on an 18-yard scoring strike capping off a 62-yard scoring drive.  Those two connected again for the third touchdown on a 24-yard scoring pass with 10:13 left in the first half.  Franklin got into the scoring act himself on a 10-yard scamper sandwiching those scoring passes.

            Reid ended the day with eight receptions for 160 yards and three touchdowns.  His eight receptions pushed his season total to 50 which breaks his school record set last year with 48.  The 160 yards pushed him past Andre Ross for the school, modern-era career yardage mark as he now stands at 2,559.

            Senior Earnest Nimmo got into the scoring act with a pair of touchdown runs.  His first one came following a Thomas Moultrie fumble recovery on the Maritime 29 and Nimmo capped off the drive with a two-yard plunge.  The second came on an 88-yard scoring drive where he finished it on a four-yard run.  Franklin found Reid on the first-play of the drive on a 73-yard pass which enabled him to break the yardage record.

The Builder defense has been opportunistic in the first half with one interception, one fumble recovery and holding the Privateers to 58 yards total offense.

            The second half saw the defense step up more forcing a pair of turnovers on the first two possessions for the Privateers.  On the first one, freshman Lamar Lancaster scored on a four-yard run following a Robert Hannah interception.  The next touchdown was a Franklin to Reid three-yard score for Reid's second three-touchdown reception day of his career.  That came as a result of a fumble eventually recovered by the Builders on the five-yardline.

            In the fourth quarter J'Michael Swain capped a 13-play, 50-yard drive with a three-yard run and Lancaster had his second touchdown on a 24-yard scamper to finish an eight-play, 73-yard drive.

            Maritime College entered the game ranked 19th in NCAA Division III averaging 252 yards per game and the Builders held them to 62 yards rushing and 92 yards of total offense on the day.

            Arnold's 202-yard outburst was the second highest single-game total in the last 24 years of Builder football.  Only a 232-yard game from Thurm Gibson against Bridgewater in 1985 stands higher in Builder history.  Franklin, who connected on his first 11 passes in the game, finished 13-of-16 for a career-high 225 yards and three touchdowns.

            The Builders now travel to Lynchburg, Va. next Saturday to face in-state rival Southern Virginia University.
