JT Tabora threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns, and Jesse Wilkins III returned an interception 50 yards for a score as No. 2 Keiser football beat Florida Memorial, 38-16, on Saturday night at Keiser Multi-Purpose Field.
 
The Seahawks (4-1, 2-0 SUN) improved to 7-0 all-time against the Lions (3-3, 1-1 SUN) and to 4-0 in the series in West Palm Beach. Keiser has now outscored Florida Memorial, 199-39, in the four meetings played in West Palm Beach. Saturday's win also extended the Seahawks' program-record home winning streak to 22 games.
 
Keiser scored on three of its first four possessions and led 21-10 at halftime. Florida Memorial outgained the Seahawks, 345 yards to 307, but Keiser forced a turnover on downs and a fumble, and Wilkins' pick-six put the game out of reach. The Seahawks' string of four straight games with 40 or more points against Florida Memorial ended, but they still average 46.1 points per game in the series.
 
Keiser took a 7-0 lead with 1:39 left in the first quarter, finishing a nine-play, 51-yard drive when Tabora hit Raphael Ekechi for a 3-yard touchdown. Florida Memorial answered with a 14-play, 65-yard drive that ended in a 22-yard Sean Egloff Vega field goal early in the second quarter.
 
Tabora then led an eight-play, 68-yard drive and found Dallas Desouza for a 5-yard score with 5:50 left in the half. Kennon Johnson's 3-yard run cut the Seahawks' lead to 14-10, but Keiser responded right away. The Seahawks went 82 yards in nine plays, and Tabora hit Israel Marion for a 10-yard touchdown with 21 seconds left before the break. All three of Tabora's touchdown passes came in the first half.
 
On Florida Memorial's first possession of the second half, Wilkins stepped in front of a pass and took it 50 yards to the end zone with 13:42 left in the third quarter, making it 28-10. The defense kept the pressure on, stopping the Night Hawks on downs at the Keiser 30 late in the third quarter and forcing a fumble early in the fourth, recovered by Antwan Williams Jr.
 
Dorian Hall added a 42-yard field goal with 5:06 left to make it 31-10, and Jontay Hais capped Keiser's scoring with a 4-yard touchdown run with 3:36 remaining. Johnson scored on a 1-yard run as time expired for the final margin.
 
 The Seahawks head to Miami Gardens, Florida, to take on the St. Thomas Bobcats on Saturday, October 17. Game time from AutoNation Field is set for noon.
