TEXT: Poquoson shut down Jamestown's vaunted
passing attack for much of the game Friday night to win its first football contest of the
year, 19-11.
The victory ended a four-game losing streak for the Islanders (1-4, 1-3 Bay Rivers
District). Jamestown is winless in five outings (0-4 in the district).
Mark Kurek, who gained 35 yards on 11 carries, partnered with Nick Jones to form a
linebacker tandem that kept the pressure on Eagles quarterback Matt McDaniel most of the
evening. McDaniel, the second-leading passer in the district, completed 10 of his 15
passes for 127 yards and a touchdown, most of that coming in Jamestown's 11-point fourth
quarter.
By then, Kurek had already done his damage. He scored three touchdowns on short runs as
the Islanders used a methodical, ball-control offense.
"All the coaches met on Sunday to come up with a defensive game plan,"
Poquoson coach Don Ward said. "We moved personnel around. Kids in the secondary
stepped up."
Young kids at that, as Ward started building for the future.
Jamestown's Pete Dreisbach had six receptions for 72 yards, putting him over the
400-yard mark for the season.
