GAME OF THE WEEK #3 Rockledge Raiders versus #2 Viera Hawks: Voted on as Top5 Game of the Week for wk#1 with 45% of the vote we have Backyard Brawl XV. Rockledge will travel on the road to face a Viera team that’s looking to put an end to the Raiders streak. Rockledge leads the series 9-5 and winners of the last three(3) games. The Raiders are young and will have to grow up fast in this one. The Viera Hawks are led by ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sr DL Jamari Lyons and the 2020 Brevard leading tackler in Sr LB Johnny Eaton. This is a Senior led team for the Hawks and they will be a handful for Raiders. Look for Viera to get an early lead on the legs of new So RB Judah Knight who is electric with the ball in his hands.
