This was the only game that I have not broadcasted since I started full-time back in 2009, as I was out of town to catch my son’s game in Wilberforce, Ohio, against Central State.
 
59th win in school history – Navarre 31, Pace 21 (2010)
 
Navarre ventured into Pace looking for their first win in seven tries against the Patriots. While donning their Live Strong jerseys, the Raiders walked away with just that; their first victory ever against Pace.
