On Oct. 26, visiting Kings Park, searching for that elusive first win of the season, struck first and often against Rocky Point with a pair of pass plays from Brandon Shapiro to wide receiver Nick Paliotta for touchdowns before Kevin Vasquez sauntered 25 yards to make it a three-score lead midway through the second quarter at 21-0.

Rocky Point wide receiver Grayson Marmol hauled in a 25-yard touchdown catch from quarterback John Nadeau for the Eagles to trail 21-7 to take the goose egg off the board.

Kings Park marched down the field in the closing minutes of the half and the Rocky Point defense made a stop, forcing Kings Park to settle for a field goal at 24-7. Rocky Point threatened in the third quarter when Cristian Romero found the end zone on short yardage but Shapiro countered in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, scoring on a keeper from 13 yards. Nadeau would answer with a keeper of his own, but it was too little too late as Kings Park won the game 31-21 to notch up their first win of the season in the Division III matchup.

Rocky Point drops to 2-5 and will play Harborfields on the road in their season finale Saturday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m.

The Kings Park Kingsmen opened their season with a thud on Saturday, as they gave up three special team touchdowns in an unsightly 34-20 loss to the Islip Buccaneers.

Bucs return specialist and cornerback, Jake DeGenarro, returned a punt, for a 62-yard touchdown, and a kickoff, for a 93-yard touchdown, both early in the game, as Islip led 13-7 after the first quarter.

Kings Park running back Aidan Barbosa was responsible for a major portion of the Kingsmen offense.

He squirted open down the right sideline midway through the first quarter for a 32-yard touchdown reception, from Junior quarterback, Brandon Shapiro. Barbosa had two receptions for 36 yards, and 117 rushing yards, on the ground. Shapiro threw for two touchdowns, but was sacked by the Buccaneer defense 10 times.

Islip quarterback senior, Brady Nash, was 12 for 16, for 190 through the air, and added 60 on the ground, including a touchdown run of 12 yards. Bucs running back Christian Hall had a touchdown run of 17 yards, and he also blocked a field goal with his facemask, in the fourth quarter, picked up the loose ball and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown. He had 80 rushing yards on 11 attempts. 

For Kings Park, Frankie Buffolino had four receptions for 52 yards, including a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Kicker Alex Squillacioti made two field goals from 42 and 26 yards.

Islip will face the mighty Sayville Golden Flashes on Friday, Sept. 20th, while Kings Park will try to get on the winning track at home, against Amityville, also, on Friday evening, at 6:30.

It was Rocky Point quarterback Cody Miller who provided the spark for the Eagles in a League VI matchup at home where the senior found the endzone three times, one of which was an interception for a 73-yard return. But it was Kings Park running back Nico Laviano who countered with a pair of short yardage runs and a 29 yarder for the 42-31 victory April 3.

Kings Park quarterback Jonathan Borkowski, a junior, found the endzone twice, and Scott McConville, a sophomore, punched in for the opening score on a five-yard run.

Rocky Point senior Charles Gerace covered 62 yards on a pass reception from Miller, and teammate Devin Cline scored from 10 yards out.

The loss drops the Eagles to 1-2 in their division, and the Kingsmen notched their first win (1-2) of this COVID-shortened season.

The Eagles retake the field April 10 in a road game against Harborfields at 1 p.m. Kings Park is back in action at home April 9 against Hills West with a 6 p.m. start.
