Brevard County High School Football Week 5 Scoreboard, Watch Replays and See Game Recaps

SPACE COAST DAILY IS YOUR NO.1 SOURCE FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Week 5 of the prep football season saw some nail-biting victories, blowouts, and an upset. Most Brevard County teams will be entering district play in the coming weeks, which makes for some intriguing matchups.

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.

Eau Gallie 25, Cocoa 13

In the Space Coast Daily “Game of the Week,” it was a battle between the county’s best for respect, bragging rights, and ultimately the No. 1 spot in the county. Riding a 28-game in-county win streak, the Tigers were looking to continue their dominance, but Eau Gallie had other plans. The Commodores forced five turnovers in the 25-13 victory over Cocoa, Lherisee, and Corbin led the way with two touchdowns apiece.

Merritt Island 24, St. Cloud 21

This game came down to the wire, but the Mustangs prevailed against a talented St. Cloud team. Trailing into the fourth quarter, it was now or never time for the Mustangs’ offense, and they came up big when it mattered most. Merritt Island improves to 3-2 on the season and is just 14 points from being undefeated this season. While this win is not a district or in-county win, it does hold weight given St. Cloud’s talent.

Holy Trinity 38, Astronaut 14

Holy Trinity dominated this one from start to finish, an impressive win over an Astronaut team that came in at 3-1 and was ready to prove their worth. The quarterback-wide receiver duo of Rico Buitrago and Jaeden McMillan was nearly unstoppable in the 38-14 win, and Holy Trinity is off to an incredible 4-1 start to the season. The Tigers will now have two weeks to prepare for John Carroll Catholic, which will be a great test.

Satellite 24, Atlantic 7

The Dan Burke era at Satellite has yet to see a loss. Cocoa Beach gave them a scare a week ago, but this squad is still undefeated at 6-0 in the SSAA division. Satellite will host Palm Bay next week in a battle that will see Dan Burke face his old stomping grounds.

Space Coast 21, Celebration 7

Space Coast dropped its first game of the season last week against Astronaut, but bounced back nicely against Celebration. Quarterback Zion Sandy has looked superb this season, and they will need him to continue that play if they want to win another state title.

Spruce Creek 29, Titusville 22

Titusville had just picked up a big win over Viera and was really trying to get their first big road win of the season. Spruce Creek posed a test for the Terriers, and they were unable to secure the win. Titusville fought hard and still looks to be one of the better teams in Brevard County. They will go to Eau Gallie next week, which is a district game.

Viera 44, Tohopekaliga 22

Big win on the road for the Hawks. After losing a week ago, they needed to bounce back in a big way, and they did. That makes the Hawks 3-2 on the season as they will head into a bye week before facing Cocoa Beach. Viera still has a lot to prove when being considered one of the County’s elite, but they will have their fair share of games to do so.

Bishop Moore 41, MCC 13

MCC has dropped its last two games and knew this one would be no easier. After an 8-3 season last year, the expectations for the Hustlers were pretty high, but an absolutely brutal schedule is hard to escape. MCC will have a bye week to regroup, but then head to Titusville for a matchup with the Terriers that will be another difficult task.

Cocoa Beach 28, St. Edward’s 25

A nail-biting victory is not what the Minutemen would have wanted, but they came out with the win and are happy to end the losing streak. Losses to Palm Bay and Satellite are games they will look back and wish they had; however, there are still winnable games for Cocoa Beach as they head into the middle stretch of the season.

Woodford County (KY) 35, Heritage 17

After the game was moved from Heritage to Cocoa a week ago, the Panthers were ready to take their home field on Friday night. However, a very talented team from Kentucky arrived, determined not to travel to Florida without a win. Woodford County, one of the top teams in Kentucky, added to Heritage’s losing streak with a 35-17 victory.

Melbourne 59, Palm Bay 14

Melbourne faced their old rivals in Palm Bay and made a statement. Melbourne will improve to 4-1 and get ready for a big time game with Osceola. The Bulldogs are looking to gain respect as they move through the middle of the schedule. A 59-14 loss for Palm Bay will sting, but they will forget about this one and move on.
