Box Score
Andalusia…0 0 7 7 – 14

The Raiders put the only points on the board in the first half, as Jason Deal connected with Trent Hall on a 15-yard pass at 11:01 of the first quarter and then Preston Penton split the uprights from 47-yards out (a new school record) as the clock read zeros in the second quarter. Navarre up 10-0.
 
The Bulldogs score 14 straight in the second half to take a 14-10 lead. Jake Wilson had a 2-yard touchdown run at 5:52 of the third and then he found Chip Morgan on a 31-yard strike with just 2:27 to go in the fourth quarter.
 
But, Navarre had one last drive in them and as the game clock ticked off the final seconds, Jaden Rivera hit pay dirt from the three for the win, 16-14.
 
The Raiders could only muster 163 yards of offense on the night (131 passing/32 rushing), but it was enough to run their record to 4-0 on the season.
 
Navarre’s defense was led by Devin Wright’s 13 tackles (9 solo/4 assists, sack, TFL) and Mekhi Domino pitched in 13 tackles (7 solo/6 assists, 2 FR) as well.
