Last weekend was busy. I covered a game on Friday night - this one, and then watched on Saturday as they "played TWO" at Todd Stadium. Here's a recap from Friday, in its original form. One must understand that the paper is pressed for space, so segments of what I write don't make the final cut. Therefore, remember to check the "Wall" if you see me at your game.
POQUOSON 28, YORK 7
POQUOSON – Cole Jackson ran for a pair of touchdowns and Donovan Edwards returned an interception 22 yards for a score, catapulting Poquoson to a 28-7 win over rival York at home.
Although neither team gained much traction offensively in the first half, it was Poquoson who scored the first two touchdowns, mostly because of their beneficial field position, which was attributed to a sturdy Islander defense that held York to 100 total yards. The opening Poquoson drive started at the Falcon 39, and a pedestrian ten-play drive was capped by junior running back Robert Henesey, who bulled his way into the end zone from the 3.
A fumble recovery by Poquoson’s Gunnar Ogburn gave the Islanders the ball at the York 33. Jackson’s 18-yard run helped to set up a first-and-goal from the 7. On second down, the senior back scored from the 4, as Poquoson opened up a 14-0 lead.
However, York (0-4) opened the second quarter with its own scoring drive. Sophomore quarterback Ramsay Hayyat found Adam Lytle for a 23-yard gain that pushed the ball to the Islander 36. After a trio of runs by Cole Lytle gained 18 yards, Hayyat found Adam Lytle again, this time for an 18-yard score. Adam Meade’s extra point cut the lead to 14-7, which was the halftime score.
Jackson broke the game open on Poquoson’s second drive of the second half. With third-and-five, he took a handoff on a sweep to the right, deked a defender, cut toward the middle of the field, and ran untouched for a 39-yard score. For the game, Jackson finished with 93 yards on ten carries.
Edwards’ interception off a Hayyat pass completed the scoring for the Islanders, who raised their record to 3-1 (2-1 Bay Rivers).
