It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Niceville had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They snuck past the Navarre Raiders with a 19-13 victory. This was a revenge game for the Eagles: when they faced off against the Raiders back in March, they had to take a 24-7 defeat.
A big part of Niceville's win came down to the chemistry between Peyton Carter and her top target Eden Shaw. Carter threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.1% of her passes while Shaw picked up 93 receiving yards and one TD. Shaw also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
