Connor Mathews got the nod over the injured Eddie Love Jr at running back and what a performance it was as he rushed for 198 yards on 22 carries. Anthony Gassaway added 72 yards on 18 carries and Navarre’s only rushing touchdown on the night.
Hunter Pfeister found Jadon Reese on both of his TD passes and Terence Marshall contributed six receptions for 44 yards. Connor Black led the defense with 11 tackles and an interception while Andre Spence added eight tackles. Taylor Gardner connected on 37-yard field goal in the win.
