45 Days to Kickoff…
 
Navarre Raiders at Fort Walton Beach Vikings – 26 Aug 2022
 
45 games ago – Escambia 35, Navarre 27 (2017)
 
Navarre jumped out to a 27-6 halftime lead on Escambia and still had a comfortable lead heading into the fourth quarter at 27-13. But it was all Gators in the fourth quarter as they ran off 22 straight points.
 
Sage Chambers passed for a 146 yards and a score, but the Raiders could only muster 59 yards on the ground. Dante Wright hauled in four of Chambers’ completed passes for 96 yards and a touchdown.
 
Joshua Carter had one of his best nights as a Raider as he finished the night with 20 tackles. Bryson Brewer added twelve and Wright pitched in with ten.
 
45th win in school history – Navarre 42, Crestview 23 (2007)
 
Raiders got back to their winning ways at home and finished the 2007 home schedule with a 5-1 record. Navarre would not have much time to enjoy this win over the Bulldogs, as they would have a Monday night make-up game at Milton.
