It was a rainy night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium as the Raiders & Eagles found themself in a real dog fight…the game would not be decided until the very last play of the game. Faced with a fourth & goal, Marlon Courtney III rolled out to his left & threw a desperation pass into the waning hands of a Pine Forest defender, luckily for Navarre the ball would slip through his hands & would find Tyler England in the back of the end zone to tie the game up at 25…Dante Wright then added the extra point for the win.
Chris Williams toted the ball 30 times for 181 yards & a score, while Courtney went 15-23 for 201 yards & a touchdown. Isaiah Heyward & Joshua Carter led the defense with seven tackles each.
35th win in school history – Navarre 49, Holmes County 7 (2006)
QB Austin Grimm went 14-16 for 203 yards & five touchdowns. Donte’ Rome & Chris Weaver were on the receiving end of four of those (two each) & Josh Brooks had the other. This would be the last time these two teams would face off.
