Apprentice School senior quarterback Kyle Franklin and freshman
defensive end DaMario Sampson were named Co-Offensive Player of the
Week and Rookie of the Week respectively by the Atlantic Central
Football Conference on Monday after their performances in the
Builders' 60-0 victory over Maritime College in the Mariners
Classic.
Franklin, a senior from Hampton and a machinist apprentice, was
13-of-16 with no interceptions for 225 yards and three
touchdowns. He also had a 10-yard rushing touchdown in the
game. For the year he has thrown 147 passes without an
interception.
Sampson, a freshman from Wagener, SC and a painter/insulator
apprentice, had eight tackles (4 solo, 4 assisted), one sack for
three yards and a tackle for loss in the win. He helped
spearhead a defense that held the 19th-ranked rushing team in NCAA
Division III to 62 yards -- 190 yards under their average coming
into the game.
The Builders now visit Southern Virginia University in Lynchburg
on Saturday at 1 pm.
