Below is our Preview + Picks on the game...
New Kent (2-3) at York (4-1) . . . After wins over Colonial Heights and Bruton, the Trojans have dropped three in a row, the toughest to swallow in that stretch being a 10-7 defeat at the hands of Poquoson in a contest where they led until the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. With QB/DB Ashton ‘A.J.’ Whitlow sidelined for another week, much of the offensive brunt for New Kent may fall on the shoulders of running back Joe Batkins, one of 13 seniors on the roster. For York, thy often have been known to use the run game to set up the pass, but this season the emergence of QB Nathan Wagner (36 of 58 for 666 yards, 7-2 TD/Int. ratio) has provided them more balance than usual on the offensive side of the ball while LB Shamarius Whitby (64 tackles) is a tackling machine on defense.

Coach Ed Young Says – York 24-20
