32 games ago – Navarre 49, Niceville 47 (1st Round, Playoffs – 2017) 
 
Box Score
Niceville….14 3 21 9 – 47
Navarre…..14 7 21 7 – 49
 
The Raiders (9-1) faced off with the Eagles for the second consecutive week, which turned out to be an old fashioned shootout. Both quarterbacks had huge nights in the contest; Sage Chambers for Navarre and Jack White for Niceville. But it was the Raiders defense that stepped up big in the waning moments to stop the Eagles two-point conversion that would have tied up the game and sent it to overtime.
 
Chambers finished the night with the second most passing yards in a game in Navarre history as he went 19-24, for 380 yards and four touchdowns. Dante Wright hauled in four receptions for 144 yards and three touchdowns and Quinn Caballero had seven receptions for 107 yards. Garren Harper contributed a 55-yard touchdown reception.
 
Additionally, the Raiders received help from the ground game as Omari Green had 18 carries for 96 yards and 52 yards on seven carries for Chris Williams. Josh Carter, Wright and Chambers all had a rushing touchdown.
 
Jack White did his best Tim Tebow impression, but it came up just a little bit short. He went 12-21 passing for 225 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 190 yards on 15 carries and two scores. The Eagles rushed for 350 yards in the game. Ryan Romair added six receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown.
 
Cade Taylor led the defense with 9 tackles (6 solo/3 assists) and Carter aided with 7 tackles (6 solo/assist). Mitchell Hunt ended the night with four quarterback hurries and Kevin Taich went 7-7 on extra points.
