Dos Palos' Kevin Schofield picks up yardage during Friday's 42-14 loss against Washington Union at Bill Hume Stadium.
"They're a good team," Dos Palos head coach Mike Sparks said. "And McCurley is the best we've seen in a long time -- well, since last year.
"He's on the money, he has velocity and it's hard to get to him."
Dos Palos fell to 3-2 in league, which was mainly due to Washington Union getting off to a quick start in the second half.
Dos Palos only trailed 7-0 after the first quarter. Washington Union went ahead by two TDs after McCurley connected on his second touchdown.
Dos Palos made it 14-7 after Kevin Schofield (26 carries, 146 yards) punched in a touchdown from 3 yards out.
"Obviously Schofield is a great player," Washington Union coach Jeff Freitas said. "He does a good job of reading blocks, and if he sees a crease, you're in trouble."
However, Dos Palos was the one in trouble after Washington Union took less than 90 seconds to score and take a 21-7 halftime lead.
In the third quarter, Washington Union scored 21 unanswered and went into the fourth ahead 42-7.
DP scored its second and final touchdown when David Quiroz (13 carries, 54 yards) scored from 2 yards out to make up the final score.
