It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but the Cocoa Tigers had no problem doing just that on Friday. They breezed by the Tigers at home to the tune of 35-0. Winning may never get old, but Cocoa sure are getting used to it with their ninth in a row.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Cocoa to victory, but perhaps none more so than Latrison Lane, who rushed for 46 yards and two touchdowns. Malachi Coney was another key contributor, rushing for 56 yards and two touchdowns.
Another reason for the win was Cocoa's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Javion Hilson was especially locked on to Dunnellon's QB and sacked him twice.
Cocoa pushed their record up to 11-1 with that victory, which was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season. They've been dominating during the contests in that stretch too, as they've won by an average of 38.23 points. As for Dunnellon, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-4.
Cocoa will look to defend their home field on Friday against South Sumter at 7:30 p.m. South Sumter is also coming in off of a big victory, so somebody is in for a big reversal of fortune. Dunnellon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
