Gulf Breeze stretched the lead out to 14 as they scored on their first two possessions of the second quarter; a 11-yard run by Carson Hepworth and a 41-yard pass to Seth Massie. Navarre would get even before the end of the first half, as Rivera scored on a 4-yard run and Jason Deal connected with Trent Hall on a 37-yard scoring strike.
 
The second half belonged to the Raiders as Rivera found the end zone for the third time on the night and TJ Peltier then finished off the scoring with a 2-yard run in the fourth. The Publix Beach Bowl Cup would remain in possession of the Navarre Raiders once again.
