RIVALRY WEEK (Week 11 Rankings & Predictions)

#2 Heritage vs #5 Palm Bay– One of the oldest rivalries in the County and one of the most anticipated games to look forward too was  Melbourne and Palm Bay. That all has changed since Heritage was formed in Palm Bay splitting Coaches, Players, Students, and Families. This game has grown into one of Brevards most heated Rivalries. Plam Bay leads the series 5-1 but they will come into this one as the underdog. Both teams are loaded with DI Talent which should make for a very exciting game. Both teams have struggled this season with turnovers and that could be the deciding factor when the final whistle is blown. Heritage holds on in a tight game. Prediction:Heritage 35 Palm bay 31

FINAL UPSET: Palm Bay 10 Heritage 7

#1 Cocoa vs #10 Rockledge– The BBQ Bowl Trophy currently resides at 2000 Tiger Trail in Cocoa Florida. It has remained in the Main Office of Cocoa High Since November 2006 . Cocoa is having another dominating season and is still the team to beat in Brevard County. While Rockledge has looked good in some games this season, they are still in the early stage of a rebuilding process.  It doesn’t seem like the Trophy will have a change of Address any time soon. Cocoa wins in a rout.  Prediction: Cocoa 42 Rockledge 7  FINAL: Cocoa 45 Rockledge 0

#11 Eau Gallie vs #15 Melbourne– These cross town rivals have played for many years usually resulting in a Melbourne Victory.

Look for Eau Gallie to end up the Kings of Melbourne.  Prediction: Eau Gallie 24 Melbourne 14 FINAL: Eau Gallie 34 Melbourne 24

#12 Satellite vs #13 Cocoa Beach– Its the Battle at the Beach!!!!
