BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Week 4 is usually the time that teams start to settle in and find their rhythm. Some teams were able to find their rhythm this week; some were not. The finishes this week have created some exciting matchups in Week 5.
This is the 31st season of high school football coverage for the principals of Space Coast Daily and the Friday Night Locker Room – brought to you by Erdman Automotive, Health First, 4Ever Young of Merritt Island, and All Points.
The First Academy 12 – Eau Gallie 8: WATCH REPLAY HERE
A game that The First Academy was probably favored by a couple touchdowns turned into a scrappy late fourth-quarter game. Eau Gallie, still without Joseph Allen, has had trouble moving the ball through the air, but found ways to do it with all-around athlete, Xavier Lherisse. The defense for the Commodores forced five turnovers, but was not able to capitalize, resulting in the close loss.
Merritt Island 39 – Palm Bay 8: WATCH REPLAY HERE
Merritt Island has looked very good thus far with their two loss coming to Cocoa and DeLand by a combined 12 points. They dominated Melbourne and now Palm Bay, the Mustangs will have another out-of-county foe to face in St. Cloud. Palm Bay was coming off some momentum wins, but Merritt Island shut them down, even through the bad weather.
Cocoa 37 – Heritage 0
Cocoa, coming off a forgettable game against Vero Beach, needed a “get back on track” game, and they did so. Heritage gave Seminole and Eau Gallie a run for their money, almost upsetting both. However, the Panthers were shut out this week as the Tigers took out their frustrations from a week ago. Cocoa will now get prepared as they invite Eau Gallie to Tiger Stadium, which should be a great game.
Astronaut 24 – Space Coast 6
Astronaut came into this one after a loss, and the Vipers had been riding high with an undefeated record so far. A rematch from a fantastic game a year ago was this time dominated by the War Eagles. Astronaut moves to 3-1 on the season and will have another tough game as they face Holy Trinity next week.
Melbourne 67 – Palm Beach Christian 0
The scoreboard speaks for itself in this game; it was all Bulldogs from start to finish. This game moves them to 3-1 on the season, they will face Palm Bay next week and then another big test comes in Osceola. This performance proves Melbourne takes care of the games they should win and does not let less competitive opponents hang around.
Titusville 28 – Viera 14
After beating the first Titusville team, Astronaut, the Hawks travelled back to T-ville to try and take down the Terriers. Titusville, coming off a loss, was trying to get itself back on the winning side of the score sheet, and it did just that. A great performance, winning by two scores, over a Viera team that has looked well this season.
Holy Trinity 41 – Bayside 0
Holy Trinity has been competitive in every game this season and is almost undefeated. The Tigers took care of business in a game they should have won and will now look ahead to Astronaut, as that should be a more formidable opponent. Bayside will try to regroup as they head to Centennial.
Riverview 45 – MCC 14
Coming off a loss, this week’s game was not going to be any easier, as Riverview (Sarasota) normally has a fine football program. Riverview ran away with this one, and the bus ride home for MCC probably did not feel great. The Hustlers still have plenty of talent, but a demanding schedule is hard to avoid.
Rockledge 47 – Seabreeze 7
Rockledge starting the season 0-3 was in dire need of a victory, the schedule has not been easy, but the Raiders gave themselves in opportunity to win in their first two games. So this win has to feel good, as it is the first official win for John Holmes as the Head Coach for the Raiders.
Satellite 27 – Cocoa Beach 20
The Beach Bowl, no matter who has the better record, can go either way, and this one came down to the end. Going back and forth all game long, it was the Scorpions who outlasted the Minutemen to move to 5-0 in the SSAA division. Cocoa Beach will now travel to St. Edward’s in hopes of getting back on the right track.
