BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Terry Spain and Zane Garcia of the Space Coast Daily–Friday Night Locker Room team will be on the call as the Rockledge Raiders travel to the Eau Gallie Commodores on Friday.
Live coverage will begin at 6:45 p.m. The kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
RECAP FROM A SEASON AGO: Many years ago, you would not usually see a Rockledge and Eau Gallie matchup. Well, the two have become familiar with one another, playing five of the last six years. Rockledge has the edge in the previous five, winning the first three, while the Commodores have won the last two.
Last year’s bout between the two was not much of a game as Eau Gallie ran away with it 40-0. Not much to say about the Rockledge side of the ball, but much can be said that the Commodores are not the team that gets pushed around anymore.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Both sides took a tough loss in week one and would like to bounce back. Eau Gallie went on the road and faced a very talented Vero Beach Indians team, and Rockledge played cross-town rivals in Viera.
Eau Gallie defeated 41-31 in that matchup, but it took a bigger loss as starting quarterback Joseph Allen was injured in the first quarter with a severe knee injury that could have him sidelined for several games.
Rockledge, on the other hand, had control of the game nearly through the duration of it, but the gutsy playing calling of Viera Hawks head coach Tony Gulla prevailed. The Hawks would convert on a two-point attempt after scoring a late fourth-quarter touchdown, giving them a 22-21 victory.
While the loss for the Commodores was upsetting, their resilience in fighting back in the game showed. An all-around amazing showcase for freshman athlete, X’Zavier Corbin, has to keep Eau Gallie fans hopeful that they will still be a force to be reckoned with throughout this season. Corbin scored three touchdowns in his first official high school football game, even more impressive coming against a Vero Beach team loaded with talent.
The Raiders’ loss will leave a sour taste not only for the next week but also for the entire season, as they try to put the game behind them and identify any positives they can take away from it. The success of the Raiders’ underclassmen will be a pivotal point in winning games.
WHERE TO WATCH: The Friday night showdown between the Commodores and Raiders will be live on the Space Coast Daily Facebook page as well as the Space Coast Daily YouTube page just ahead of the 7 p.m. kickoff.
