Blog LIVE Game Blog: Poquoson 21, Lake Taylor 6 - FINAL

Promus Royal drops back to throw and against the rush he feels it and loses the ball. It's recovered by Poquoson's Cody Little.

Lake Taylor defender Tyreek Turner makes consecutive tackles when Poquoson gets the ball back. His second one is a tackle for loss as the Islanders go backwards 3 yards. Heath Reynolds runs for 5 yards on 3rd & 13, stopped by Turner and Jerome Brown.

Coach Elliott Duty of Poquoson wisely is letting that clock tick down to about 2 minutes before punting it away with a 21-6 lead. Poquoson uses a time-out with 2:26 to go to avoid a delay of game penalty.

GW @ Dinwiddie

I think you’d be impressed with the size of the team, line play and I liked the playcalling tonight. Dinwiddie punched them in the mouth but GW battled back.. It was 27-14 at one point.. Gotta clean up the tackling and get in better shape. One week at a time, but I believe our Danville boys be very solid come October/November.
I am not going to down them. I will just watch for now.

LCA - 20 Salem - 14 3rd Quarter

Update: LCA - 35 Salem - 21

Salem had another good chance for a stop as LCA had third-and 10. Both defensive tackles had free shots at tackles for loss on LCA's back-up running back but he broke both of them and picked up the first and then LCA scored right after.

Salem responds with a long kick-off for TD... really showed off some insane speed on this one.

On the plus side for Lake Taylor, they're starting to get in a rhythm with their passing game as Promus Royal finds Jerome Brown for an 8-yard connection. It brings up 3rd & 2 from the Poquoson 47, but the next pass falls incomplete. If time was on their side, they probably would've run the ball there. It is two-down territory, though.

The Titans keep the offense on the field with 6:22 to go and trailing the visiting Islanders 21-6. The QB Royal keeps it for a run up the middle and 3 yards to move the chains. Royal hits Dannuel Maye for consecutive completions, netting 18 and 3 yards down to the 23 of Poquoson before it's an incomplete on a shot to the end zone.

Huge 3rd & 7 coming up from the PHS 23 with 5:26 to play.

Lake Taylor nearly gets a big completion close to midfield to freshman Dannuel Maye. However, it's incomplete, bringing up 3rd & 11 from their own 19. However, on the very next play, it's Kevin Adams hauling in an 18-yard pass from QB Promus Royal.

Adams then goes up to make a splendid leaping catch to the Poquoson 40-yard line, but the officials catch him slamming / spiking the ball down. That's a 15-yard penalty that backs the Titans up to their own 45.

That's the third 15-yard penalty on the Titans and if I know Coach Hank Sawyer like I do, he won't tolerate those things and express his displeasure to his guys for not showing their composure in that spot.

GW @ Dinwiddie

I am sure Dinwiddie had a lot to do with it. Was just joking a little with Tommy. I never make a judgement on one game, particularly an opening game. I have been critical before but, I don't believe I have been unfair and I will just watch for now.

Cody Little rumbles for 10 yards and a first down, then Khaleo Smith bounces off a tackle to gain 6 more into Lake Taylor territory for this punishing Poquoson ground attack.

The Lake Taylor defense - behind 11 total tackles from Jerome Brown on the night so far and 9 by Casaun Hesson - are able to get off the field as Poquoson will be punting it away on 4th & 2 from the Titans 45 with 8:47 remaining after a time-out.

GW @ Dinwiddie

Dinwiddie fans will be modest but I think they took a very huge leap this summer. I’m not sure what Phoebus or Huguenot looks like, but I believe the East runs through Dinwiddie. They are legit. Lots of athletes off Boydton Plank Rd.

I’ve been very very critical on GW but they look better than they’ve looked in a long time. Definitely a lot of promise. I will get ambushed but QB play tonight was horrendous. Kid has to lock in being a 3 year starter, GW can make a lot of noise in Region D.

@cutnjump they really didn’t look bad at all.. I think it’s more so of Dinwiddie being that good.
