The Raiders welcomed another Alabama foe to Bennett C. Russell Stadium and took home the victory to improve to 5-0 on the season and 7-3 all-time against teams from Alabama.
 
The Wildcats scored on a 22-yard pass from Quentin Hayes to Joshua McCray at 8:44 in the first to get the scoring going. Navarre would then answer back on their next possession as Jason Deal punched it in from the one at the 5:39 mark…7-7 after one.
 
The Raiders would run off 14 straight points to start the second as Zach Marquis found AJ Arno on a 61-yard pass and Jaden Rivera scored on a 6-yard run. Enterprise would get on the board just before halftime as the Hayes to McCray connection worked for a second time on the night to cut the lead to 7…Navarre up 21-14.
 
Navarre’s Jaden Rivera would score the only touchdown of the third (a 18-yard run) to give the Raiders a 27-14 lead heading to the fourth.
 
But, the Wildcats scored at 10:53 of the fourth as Hayes tossed his third touchdown pass of the night, this one to Jared Smith from 71-yards out to cut the lead to six. That would be as close as they would get as the Raiders would tally the next 15 points; a 3-yard run by Bailey Huston and a 11-yard run by Zach Marquis to stretch the lead to 21. Hayes would throw his fourth touchdown of the night; a 46-yard toss to Smith at 1:18 to close out the scoring.
 
Navarre’s Zach Marquis went 7-12 for 106 yards and a touchdown and Jaden Rivera rushed for 151 yards on 26 carries and two scores. AJ Arno hauled in five receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown.
 
Devin Wright led the Raider defense with 18 tackles (10 solo/8 assists); Derek Percivalle added 10 tackles (5 solo/5 assists/Int/TFL) and Sebastian Melendez produced 10 tackles (5 solo/5 assists) as well.
