This was the second straight week that he rushed for over 200 yards. Caine Adamson went 6-12 for 79 yards and two touchdowns.

Navarre (10-1) jumped out to 21-7 lead at the half; but Escambia came fighting back and trailed 34-28 going into the fourth quarter. The Raiders defense stepped up big time in the waning moments of the game and had a huge 4th down stop to send Navarre into the second round of the State Playoffs.
