The Cocoa Tigers will head out on the road to take on the Vero Beach Indians at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Cocoa is coming into the matchup on a four-game losing streak.
Last Saturday, Cocoa opened the new year with a less-than-successful 39-26 loss to Lake Mary. The game marked the Tigers' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Vero Beach). They really took it to Morningside Academy for the full four quarters, racking up a 51-20 win. With the Indians ahead 30-9 at the half, the match was all but over already.
Cocoa's defeat dropped their record down to 9-5. As for Vero Beach, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a massive bump to their 3-7 record this season.
Cocoa didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Vero Beach when the teams last played back in February of 2024, but they still walked away with a 52-48 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cocoa since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
