17 Days to Kickoff…
Navarre Raiders at FWB Vikings – 26 Aug 22
17 games ago – Navarre 52, Crestview 14 (2019)
As I was on the road (first game I have missed in over 10 years), Heath Childs filled in for me as he teamed up with Bob Grant. The Raiders didn’t disappoint the home crowd as they put up 45 points in the first half.
Crestview…14 0 0 0 – 14
Navarre…21 24 7 0 – 52
Navarre…21 24 7 0 – 52
Marlon Courtney III only completed nine passes (9-13, 221 yards), but six of them went for touchdowns (school record). Four of those TD passes went to Tyler England (5 receptions, 129 yards). The four touchdown receptions for England is also a school record.
Jeffery Mattox led the Navarre defense with ten tackles. England also tied a school record with three interceptions on the night. Preston Penton had a perfect night as he went 7-7 on extra points and made his only field goal attempt from 39 yards out.
17th win in program history – Arlington Country Day 22, Navarre 13 (2002)
The Apaches won the game on the scoreboard, but unfortunately they played an ineligible player and the Raiders were awarded the victory (box score is attached).
