Impressive and glad to finally see a duval public break through 

 

Been boring seeing Bolles and university Christian and Trinity Christian as only duval teams getting championships

Thought it was 13 to 10 Raines? Whatever score is congrats to Raines... Cocoa fans were feeling themselves too much... lol

Oops... I mean 13-10, my apologies...

Raines deserved the win. It wasn't the refs. The flags were thrown against both teams. Both teams played their asses off. Brandon Marshall had to be the MVP. Hope he is ok... look forward to seeing him play on Saturdays. Their QB was good too. We had some dropped passes and a fumble in the end zone. Have to hand it to Raines defense. They all but shut down the run.

It was an exciting game. Well worth the price for admission. Wilks should have let Alex try to tie it with a FG. He did make a 47 harder earlier and was hitting them from 50 in warm ups.

No complaints. See you next year.

A fair assessment based on what I saw. The two teams were about equal, but Raines made enough plays to pull the win out.

Cocoa had about 85 total rushing yards tonight with about 50 of them coming on one play for a TD.  Cocoa's run was pretty much getting locked down heavy all night by Raines and I don't get Cocoa's last drive when they kept pressing the run.  They had one decent play in their last drive which happened to be a completed pass .  What do they do on 3rd, and 4th and 6 to end the game?  Run.   

As Cat_Scratch basically said, they may have had a better shot at making a 50 yard yarder.

Raines Offense, established the run,  was  more dynamic offensively,  and played better defense.  They were the better team tonight.

Hmmm....makes you wonder what could of been if Jones High didn't petition to get moved up to 5A this year.

The listed crowd for that game was like 4200.  No way I  would by that .  That placed looked pretty packed. 

Thoughts on only "4200" at that game?

they would have lost to cocoa, thats what.

the transfers that cocoa had(posted on the video board how many they had come in) rivals that of what jones has.

 

the game was a slug fest for sure.  raines has as many fast kids as anyone in the state, and they can play ball!  

I couldnt believe how they didnt utilize the monsters they have on the OL more and just beat cocoa into submission.  when they ran the ball, it was very effective, i felt like they passed way too much. 2x2 gun stuff is fantastic and is seen everywhere on fri/sat/sun, however how about line up in the I and just beat the hell out of the team across from you.  with a great RB and some true hogs up front.  no need to be fancy.  

could cocoa guard the swing RB 1 time?  he was open as a check down all friggin night!!!  

i truly didnt understand why cocoa tried to run inside the tackles.  it wasnt there, save for 1 play.  with that being said, the amount of drops by cocoa skill kids was off the charts(not just on offense either).  any of those balls caught and the game may have been quite a bit different.  the TE up the seam late that was just missed, wow.  

fun game, hope the rest are as good as last night.

kudos to both squads.  you put on a show for the state.
