Crespi wide receiver Mikio Island will miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury he suffered two weeks ago, reports Gerry Gittelson of the Daily News.

Island is third in team receiving yards and averaged a team-best 33.75 yards per reception. He is also a standout track and field sprinter for Crespi.

Not having him in the lineup will complicate things when Crespi, ranked No. 4 by The Times, opens up Serra League play against No. 5 Notre Dame on Halloween night.

And here are some clips of Island in action that I uncovered on YouTube:
