24 days to kickoff of the 2023 Florida HS football season as the Navarre Raiders will host the Catholic Crusaders on 25 Aug 2023 at the comfy confines of Bennett C. Russell Stadium.
 
24 games ago – Navarre 16, Andalusia (AL) 14 (2020)
 
Andalusia…0 0 7 7 – 14
Navarre…7 3 0 6 – 16
 
The Raiders were limited to 163 yards (131 passing/32 rushing) of total offense by a very tough Bulldog defense in the very first and only meeting between these two teams. Zach Marquis finished the night 10-16 for 98 yards and Trent Hall hauled in five receptions for 67 yards and a TD reception. Jaden Rivera was the only Raider to rush for positive yards on 13 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown.
 
Navarre forced three turnovers on defense (3 fumble recoveries) and produced nine tackles for loss and four sacks. They were led by Mekhi Domino and Devin Wright with 13 tackles each and Joshua Earlemann pitched in with nines. On special teams, Jebari Mitchell had two kickoff returns for 132 yards, with a long of 78 yards. Even though Preston Penton only connected on 1-3 field goals, his only make broke the school record (47 yards).
 
24th win in program history – Navarre 34, Pine Forest 3 (2003).
 
The Raiders won four of their first five games to start the season (first time in school history), by doing so, they finished above .500 for the first time in program history as well.
