Just got back from the game, and didn't have my laptop so I don't have full stats like I do for baseball games, but I know a few. Poquoson was lead by Gene Efird with 25 points, and Chad Pender with 23 (may have been 20, not sure). Those two had all but two of Poquoson's second half points (again, I think). 15 for Efird and 16 for Pender (or 13). New Kent spread the ball around very well. While I don't know many of their names. Owen (#30) was in double figures, but looked to be close to being ejected early in the 4th because of an elbow thrown at Efird, but the officials did not see it. Otey (#14) only had 5 points, but had many assists. Poquoson jumped on him everytime he head-faked, and he found the wide open man. Poquoson outscored New Kent by 9 in the 3rd quarter, but did not have the legs to run with New Kent (who plays 11 players) in the 4th. Poquoson falls to 0-1 in the BRD, while New Kent advances to 3-0.

67-61

Poquoson could have won that game and I would say it is anyone's game next time they meet. I think if Poquoson had more time to practice as a team and had some scrimmages first, they could have pulled this off. That was the first game the whole team had played since the football players returned. I was impressed with the 3's that New Kent shot in the beginning of the game. I am sure Poquoson will work on getting in basketball shape over the break. Still proud of the Islanders! By the way, Pinder is spelled with an i not an e

Wow, your right. I can't believe I missed his name. I even went back to my baseball stats to check his name and still spelt it wrong. They did have a scrimmage, but it was not against an organized team, and they play again tomorrow, so we'll be able to see how this team goes from one game to the next.

the physical transition from football to basketball is tough one. i didnt see the game tonight but i assum most of them were getting reaquantited with all the running in the games. they should be able to bounce back w/ no problem w/ their coaching staff

yeah i think poquoson will bounce back. besides efird apparently fouled out but he really only had four. so if he was in maybe poquoson could've won. well done by new kent for the spectacular three point shooting.

He had 5. Both scorebook keepers (one who was from Poquoson) and all the parents behind them said he had 5 too.
