On a blustery late-October night, the Raiders (7-1, 3-0) sealed up the District title. While going against the wind, Navarre could not put any points on the scoreboard. When they had the wind on their side, Sage Chambers put the Raiders on the board with a 6-yard run in the second and produced two more scoring drives in the second quarter and one in the fourth. Dante Wright sealed the victory with a highlight real interception on Gulf Breeze’s last drive.
 
Chambers completed 5-9 passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns. Sam Register had a 61-yard touchdown grab and Wright hauled in a 17 yard touchdown (both coming in the second quarter). Josh Carter only had eight carries on the night, but made the most of them with 108 yards rushing. Wright would finish out the scoring for Navarre with a 6-yard run 46 seconds into the fourth quarter.
 
Cade Taylor and Josh Carter had big nights on the defensive side of the ball with 16 tackles (10 solo/6 assists) each. Nolan Garrett added 10 tackles (7 solo/3 assists). Carter, Taylor and Alex Gilchrist each had a sack as well. Kevin Taich went 3-3 on extra points.
