1998 FOOTBALL
1999 SCHEDULE
The
Lord Jeff football squad finished off a strong 1998 showing with
a 5-3 record. The 1998 Jeffs started many young players and they
responded very well to the rigors of college football. Freshman
linebacker Dan Lalli (Watertown, MA) was voted the NESCAC Defensive
Rookie of the Year, while fellow freshman wide receiver Derrell
Wright (Hudson, OH) set a new Amherst record for receiving yards
in a game with 224 versus Trinity. Leading the Lord Jeff youth
movement was sophomore cornerback Brian Daoust (Dover, MA) named
to the All-ECAC First Team for his team-leading 6 interceptions.
Three other defensive standouts received post-season honors.
Senior defensive tackle Greg Gottheimer (East Hanover, NJ), senior
outside linebacker Alex Neifer (Williamsburg, NY), and senior
free safety Todd Nichols (Skaneateles, NY) were all named to
the NESCAC Defensive All Star First Team. These three, along
with Daoust and Lalli were instrumental in leading the Amherst
defense to another dominating campaign. Offensively, the Jeffs
relied on a 
savvy sophomore quarterback by the name of Peter Honig
(Bronxville, NY) and the speedy duo of receivers, sophomore Matt
Hall (Lincroft, NJ) and the record-setter Derrell Wright. Hall
led the way with over 500 yards receiving. On the ground, the
Jeffs received another solid effort from senior tailback Darin
Byrne. The captain rushed for over 400 yards and scored eight
touchdowns. With the Amherst youth movement now in the weight
room for the winter, an exciting future rests on the horizon
for the purple and black.
