Islanders win again, running past Mathews

By Mark Schaffer
Daily Press Correspondent

POQUOSON - Senior running back Matt Kurek punched over the game's only touchdown Friday night to give Poquoson a 7-0 non-district victory over Mathews at Poquoson Middle School.

Kurek, who finished with 84 yards on 12 carries, scored from the 6-yard line in the third quarter, providing the Islanders (3-6) with their second victory in as many weeks. Last week, they knocked off Bay Rivers District title contender Southampton.

Mathews (4-5), a Group A school from the Tidewater District, had one big scoring opportunity with a second-and-goal from the Poquoson 1. James Krigsvold, a 221-pound battering ram, was stopped for no gain. He carried again and was thrown for a 2-yard loss. The Blue Devils went on to turn the ball over on downs.

The Islanders dominated in the statistical categories, collecting 279 yards total offense -- 255 yards rushing -- while holding Mathews to 155. Justin Mulkey carried 16 times for 66 yards and Jake Hollingsworth 16 times for 67 yards of that Poquoson total.

Poquoson ends its season next Friday night by playing host to Tabb.
