What an exciting game tonight TD's were traded back and forth in the 1st half with Rockledge starting off with a TD after stopping Cocoa's opening drive. Cocoa then came back and kicked  a FG. Rockledge fumbled and Cocoa recovers. Two plays later Cocoa fumbles and Rockledge recovers. Rock punts/ Several plays later Rockledge intercepts a Cocoa pass and takes it to the house. Cocoa then drives the field and scores making it 14 - 10 Rockledge. Cocoa stops Rockledge and scores after going 90 yards. Half time score is Cocoa 17 and Rockledge 14. Cocoa and Rockledge fans are pumped making lots of noise after halftime. Rockledge stops Cocoa's second half kick forcing a Cocoa punt. Next play Rockledge takes it in for a nice 80 run. Rockledge takes the lead back but misses the extra point putting the score at 20 -17 Rockledge. Cocoa takes the kick to the 40 and then drives the field taking the lead back. 24-20 Cocoa. Rockledge takes the kickoff in for a TD, 27-24 Rock. 4th quarter, Both teams punt, Cocoa then drives the field starting at their 17, Cocoa 31 -27. Rockledge gets their last TD of the night off some nice runs taking a 3 point lead with a little over 6 mins left on the clock. Cocoa takes the kick back for a TD and the lead changes once again. Cocoa stops Rockledge on 4th 4 with 4 1/2 mins left. Cocoa scores another TD making it 45 - 34 with over 2 mins to play. Cocoa then stops Rockledge on 4th and 8n then runs out the clock claiming victory. Cocoa's first win over Rockledge in 3 years. 

It was exciting to watch this rivalry play out this year. Both teams are excellent teams and well coached. 2 year's ago the Bar-B-Que bowl went into OT. This year it was even more exciting watching the lead trade out the entire game until late in the 4th. All in all I would say both teams showed good sportsmanship even though there were a few words traded. Seen Rockledge help a Cocoa player up after a hard tackle. Good on you Rockledge. Both teams showed a lot of spirit and should play decent in the playoffs. 

Stands were as full as allowed and it was a great night for football.

Go Tigers... and Go Raiders... You guys put on a fantastic show.

It was truly a 5 star game...

    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
