Kick Off Classic Predictions
Heritage Panthers 321 Recruits #1, BHSN #7, FLHSFB #24, MaxPreps #32, National #263 Heritage starts out the season as our #1 Ranked team due to its Defensive depth and a tremendous Backfield that will go about 4 deep this season. (Sr RB) Josh “Moose” Gaines, (Jr. RB) Lasedrick King, (Sr, RB) Josh Harden, (Sr. QB) Daeshawn Mills. These three running backs rushed for over 1000 yards last season. Gaines ,who has 3 College offers, was forced to play QB last year when Mills went down with a injury is excited about getting his signal caller back. The Offense with Mills back into the fold will help to stretch the field and force teams out of the 8 man fronts they faced last season. Daeshawn Mills leading the passing attack gives a new dimension that will be hard to deal with this season leaving opposing teams to pick their poison. Heritage will travel to face a very talented Vero Beach team on on August 21st in a Kick Off Classic. Look for Heritage to win a tough one on the road. Prediction: Heritage 37 VB 27 FINAL: Heritage 20 Vero Beach 17
Cocoa Tigers 321Recruits #2 , BHSN #3 , FLHSFB #6, MaxPreps #195, National #74 Cocoa is the Highest Nationally Ranked team in Brevard but they come in at #2 in our rankings. The Offensive Line returns 4 starters from a year ago who are Big, Fast, and led by 6’6 300lb (Sr OT) Jawaan Taylor who has 13 offers and counting. Look for Cocoa to have an explosive Offense with FL Commit (Sr ATH) Chauncey “CJ”Gardner, OSU Commit (Jr QB) Bruce Judson, (Sr TE) Zach Armour(2 Offers), (Jr RB) Timmy Pratt, and (So DE/RB) Howard Stewart who already has a Miami Offer. This team is very talented but very young and inexperienced on the defensive side of the ball. The only thing lacking for Cocoa early on will be the Defense who will start 6 Sophomores on Defense. These kids will have to grow up quickly as they play a very well Coached Titusville team in the Kick Off Classic. Titusville will showcase some Dynamic players in (Jr. QB) Yusuf Dereese, (Sr. RB) Jaleel Davis, (Sr LB/RB) Jacob “Speedy” Farris, and (Sr. WR/FS) Tommy Mack Prediction: Cocoa 35 Titusville 7 FINAL: Cocoa 38 Titusville 13

Lead by (Sr. WR) Tre Nixon (47 Offers) and (Sr. QB) Hayden Kingston (FAMU offer) the Offense looks to put plenty of points on the board. The Defense has had some new additions to an already talented group lead by (Sr. ATH) Trevor Merritt, (Sr. DB) Evan Cruz, (Sr DB) Jamyson Boyd, (So LB) Brandon Mays, and (Sr. DT/T) Matthew Martorelli. Transfers (Jr. ATH) William Champion, (Sr ATH) Alex Cabrera, and (Sr DB) Malek Folston gives depth to the Program looking to make a deep playoff run this Season. The Hawks play host to Eau Gallie who will have a new look under center as (Sr. QB) Matt Wilson transferred from Palm Bay. Look for a great game by Eau (So. RB) Cordell Dzara, Prediction: Viera 38 Eau Gallie 14 FINAL: Viera 55 EAU 7
