Class of 2005 Jacob
Grana Years Played: 2001-2005 Positions Played: Wing,
Center, Flanker, Number Eight Jacob Grana played four
years of rugby at Bard. His first year was spent mostly on the wing and
during his sophomore year he played in the midfield. In his third season,
having grown bigger and stronger, Jacob moved to the open-side flanker
position. In his senior year, Jacob was MVP and co-captain while playing
number eight. JacobŐs long-awaited first try came in the final semester of
his career, a moment he later confessed he could scarcely remember as it was
too much of a blur in his memory. A witness with clearer perspective will
recall that Jacob received the ball from a breakdown, burst between two
defenders in the defensive line and ran straight through two more tackles
before crossing the try line. The event conveys well the development of Jacob
into a complete rugby player, one whose vision, skill, determination and
strength made his example on the field one to follow. Current Location: Brooklyn, NY USA Occupation: Contact: Jacobgrana@hotmail.com |
