The rain started about 20 minutes before kickoff and never stopped until the fourth quarter. This didn’t bother the Raiders as they had the game in complete control from the onset in the first meeting between these two teams.
Hunter Pfeister only completed eight passes, but he made the most of them by going 8-14, for 139 yards and three touchdowns. Eddie Love Jr led the rushing attack (22 carries, 96 yards, TD) and Jadon Reese added two receptions for 92 yards and two scores. Terence Marshall tallied the other touchdown.
Navarre was led on defense by Joshua Wilson (six tackles) and Dwayne Clark Jr scored on a fumble return right before the first half ended. Taylor Gardner had a perfect night, 4-4 on extra points and connected on his only field goal attempt from 35 yards out.
9th win in program history – Navarre 20, Port St Joe 14 (2000)
This would be the last time that these two teams would meet on the gridiron. Navarre won both games and outscored Port St Joe, 59-34.
