Almost a month to the day after Portsmouth Christian hosted Atlantic Shores and won 49-38, the matchup switched to the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, home of the Seahawks of Atlantic Shores. The result was a vastly different outcome. Shores exacted revenge with a convincing 51-12 victory.
Atlantic Shores came out swinging, while the opposite proved to be the case for Portsmouth Christian as the Patriots struggled to find their footing against a hungry Seahawks squad.
Rather quickly, Atlantic Shores ran the score up to the tune of 31-0 by half-time, striking for numerous big plays. Three of which were of the 40-yard variety or longer with QB Damien Mazil, a transfer from Kellam High before the season, orchestrating their prolific attack. In fact, the 31-0 half-time deficit was something Portsmouth Christian hadn't encountered all season.
With a lopsided score through two quarters of play, the game pretty much could go one of two ways. Either the domination by Shores would continue or the Patriots would use the break to re-group, come out fighting and chip into that lead.
The former happened, as Shores would run to a 44-0 lead before Portsmouth Christian found the end zone, scoring on an 80-yard Chase Harsh touchdown pass to open the final quarter. That score, which was the longest play of the game, came a little too late because the Seahawks would score again to increase their lead. Portsmouth Christian added another score, but the running clock - along with the lethal passing game of Atlantic Shores - would provide no time for a comeback.
