Gatlin Casey returned the opening kick 99 yards (school record) for a score and freshman Michael Carter ran for 51 yards and two touchdowns as the Raiders defense limited the Vikings to 67 yards of total offense and kept them out of the end zone in a convincing 34-7 win at Steve Riggs Stadium.

Escambia…0 7 21 7 – 35
 
Michael Carter had 244 yards on 28 carries and 4 TDs running behind another outstanding performance by the Raider “Big Bubba’s”. But it was the defense that stood tall late in the fourth quarter as they stopped the Gators offense on fourth down deep in Raider territory. Aaron Mitchell led the way with 12 tackles and Caleb Dale pitched in with 10.
