I thought I had seen pretty much everything in football, but there is a first for everything. On this night the Dolphins returned three Raider fumbles for scores. Gulf Breeze’s Andrew Thorn, Shamane Walker and Phillip Dillard were the recipients of these gifts. The Raiders turned the ball over five times in the loss.
Hunter Pfeister completed 25-35 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off twice. Chris DeCorte led the Raider rushing attack with 85 yards on 19 carries and a score. Derek Percivalle had 10 receptions for 104 yards and a TD and Terence Marshall hauled in five receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. Marshall contributed a 94-yard kickoff return for a score as well.
Navarre’s defense was led by Devin Wright with 14 tackles while Hunter Crowder added 12 and Christian Caballero added 10. Lemuel Wilson had the loan sack on the night. The Raiders finished the 2021 season with a 5-4 record.
