Miami- Defending state champion Cocoa made it three-straight with a 38-27 win Gadsen County (near Tallahassee) Thursday afternoon in FIU’s Pitbull Stadium. The 2A FHSAA final match up featured Cocoa’s air attack against Gadsen County’s power run attack. Texas A&M commit and Cocoa Tiger quarterback Brady Hart led the way through the air to the tune of 259 yards passing and 1 TD on 22 of 31 passing. His leading wideout was Florida State commit, Jayvan Boggs. He caught 6 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. The ground game was really the back breaker for Gadsen County, ironically, as the Cocoa Tigers racked up 100 yards on the ground as both Hart and Latrison Lane both rushed for 64 yards a piece. Hart took sacks that took away 28 team rushing yards but was clutch picking up first downs on scrambles downfield to keep key drives alive.Cocoa began the scoring with a dart from Hart to Boggs, scoring off a Gadsen County turnover. But the Jaguars from Gadsen County would march right back down the field and tie the game on a Kemarrion Battles rushing touchdown. Battles scored twice, racking up 96 yards on the ground for the Jaguars from the Tallahassee metro area. The game would go back and forth for the duration until Cocoa broke it wide open on a play in the fourth quarter. On fouth down, leading by only four, with under two minutes to play, the Coca Tigers tried to draw the Jags off-sides. It didn’t work. After a time out, they went for it and got not only the two yards needed for a first down, but they also completely iced the game as Lane scored from 42 yards out. It’s the school’s seventh championship, third consecutive and for head coach Ryan Schneider, it cements a legacy.
PLAY CALL OF THE YEAR!!!Cocoa goes for it on 4th and 2 and Latrison Lane scores. That gives the Tigers a 38-27 lead with 1:04 remaining @CocoaFootball @Cocoa_Schneider @LaTrisonLane20 @321preps pic.twitter.com/tdqwPQkgMm— Jon Santucci (@JonSantucci) December 12, 2024

Go lightning!!!!!!
Are the games streaming? Can’t find it anywhere…
our bcyfca turned down live stream to allow south beach abilities to sell dvds
That’s Horrible!! I was so looking forward to routing the Lighting on! I wanted to see my nephew play. Sorely disappointed that money comes first even in youth football.
Please share your displeasure with the BCYFCA president. It was his call. Football Hotbed was ready to broadcast the games.
What a horrible decision by the league. To allow one league to profit is ludicrous. Is everything about money. I know I made plans for my sons grandparents to watch him play on the internet since they live in South Florida. They even planned on coming up but I told them not too since we would be down for Thanksgiving. No chance I will buy a DVD from South Beach. BAD DECISION. By the way I did send an email to the league expressing my disapproval with that decision.
Get more people to email the president he must know that these kids deserve exposure
Got a response from the president stating that the person who had the opportunity to broadcast it declined due to not being able to make money off of it. He also said that they have no control over the host leagues fundraising activities.
He is correct… the guy pays for his own domain. . His own hosting link and videos from 8am -11pm he should be compensated by bcyfca or allow him to sell the dvds….. he asked for no money just dvds sales which pays for his time…. I feel 6000 views of our babies are worth it
