Motley is coming off a historic 350-yard, seven-touchdown performance against Riverhead. The bigger question is: was this big game a product of circumstance, or is Motley this great? The senior will have a chance to answer that against a Whitman defense that allowed over 200 rushing yards last week.

Central Islip’s offense centers on the run, and Motley has made a living weaving through traffic from heavy-set formations.

Expect that burst of speed and instinct to make defenders miss all night if the Musketeers aim to win two straight.

Motley was generational, rushing for 350 yards and seven touchdowns on 40 carries in Central Islip’s 48-45 win over Riverhead. Breaking the 25-year record for most touchdowns in a game for a Musketeers player since Stephen Davis in 2001.

Motley brings a tailback edge Central Islip hasn’t seen since Davien Atkinson in 2021. He has a slim frame at 5’8 and 175 lbs, but he’s physical and explodes through the hole.

His first touchdown is a prime example: he makes a defender miss in the backfield, then bounces the run outside for a 25-yard house call. Motley was crucial in giving Central Islip its first win of the season, and he gave college coaches great game film to salivate over.
