Builders visit Southern Virginia for last
road game in 2007
The Apprentice School faces in-state rival Southern Virginia
University in the fifth meeting between the United States
Collegiate Athletic Association member schools. ... The Builders
lead the series 4-0 after winning 32-0 in Newport News last season.
In that game the Knights turned the ball over six times (4 fumbles,
2 interceptions) while Builders quarterback Kyle Franklin was
10-of-15 for 135 yards threw two touchdown passes to Travis Reid,
who finished the game with six receptions for 127 yards.... SVU did
win in the previous matchup in 2005, but later forfeited the win.
Apprentice School comes in after defeating Maritime College,
NY 60-0 in the Mariners Classic, while SVU defeated Faulkner
39-18. Builder senior WR Travis Reid broke the school,
modern-era career yardage record with his eight catches for 160
yards and three touchdowns against Maritime. He raised his
totals to 148 receptions, 2,559 yards and 27 touchdowns. ...
Sophomore RB Sam Arnold ran for 202 yards against Maritime College
to become the first Builder running back since 1985 to run for over
200 yards in a game. ... This is the last road game of the year for
the Builders who return home to finish the season with SUNY
Brockport and Chowan University in the Oyster Bowl. ... Apprentice
School has been very stingy with the ball thus far having only
turned the ball over twice (one interception and one fumble). ...
The one interception thrown matches Dickinson College, Hobart
University and ACFC rival Salisbury University for the lowest in
Division III, while the one fumble matches St. Lawrence University
for the lowest in Division III.

Record-setting Reid
Senior Travis Reid now holds all of the receiving records in
Apprentice School history. He broke the career reception
record against Wesley, the career touchdown record against
Frostburg State and now can add the career yardage mark after his
160 yards against Maritime College raised his total to 2,559.
Reid, a Goose Creek, SC native had 48 receptions for 798
yards and seven touchdowns in 2006 when he was named first team
All-ACFC. He became the third Builder receiver in the last 25
years to have 100 or more receptions with his four receptions in
the opener with Fairmont State. He also became the second
receiver in the last 25 years to have over 2,000 yards in
receptions after his performance against Emory & Henry.
For his career he has 148 receptions, 2,559 yards and 27
touchdowns.

Franklin factors
Senior Kyle Franklin, heading into his final three games of his
career, is a little ahead of his career completion percentage at
55.1% (81-of-147). In his career he is second in completion
percentage in school (modern-era) history at 52.4%. Franklin
is now alone in second place in career touchdown passes with 27
after his three touchdown performance against Maritime College on
October 20.
He earned ACFC Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors after the
Maritime game where he was 13-of-16 for 225 yards and three
touchdowns. Franklin also ran for a 10-yard touchdown in the
60-0 rout of Maritime. His completion percentage of
81.2% was the second highest in the modern era of Builder
football. Franklin completed his first 11 passes in the game.

Builder Block Party
Last year the Builders special teams were truly special as they
blocked six punts returning four of them for touchdowns and one for
a safety. Senior Tony Scott had three of those blocks and
started 2007 off with another one in the scrimmage game against
Guilford College. Scott blocked his way into the 2007 season
with a punt block in each of the first three games. His block
against Frostburg was returned by Lawrence Frost for the
game-clinching touchdown, while his block against Emory & Henry
was returned by Joe Bruce for the final score. Scott now has
11 for his career which is a school record.
