GAME OF THE WEEK 4A Cocoa Tigers (5-1) vs 7A Spruce Creek Hawks (7-0): Cocoa is facing the most balanced team they have faced all season. Spruce creek has a great offense, defense, and special teams. Team is led by Sr RB Kevin Minckler who has tremendous speed and is the spark for the Hawks. They have only given up 50 points all season and will have to try and slow down the Tigers Offense. Cocoa is led by Sr RB OJ Ross who already has 18 Touchdowns in only 6 games. Cocoa has game changers on both sides of the ball that will make for an exciting game. Some questions to answer; Can Spruce Creek go score for score with Cocoa? Can Cocoa stop Spruce Creek balanced Offense? Will Special teams be the difference in this game?
