The Mosley Dolphins's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on the Escambia Gators at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Mosley's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
Last Thursday, Mosley was fully in charge, breezing past Navarre 36-7 at home. Fans of the Dolphins have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ point.
Sammy Freitas was his usual excellent self, throwing for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 80 yards on only eight carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Mosley's defense and their four sacks. Navarre's QB won't forget Will Arboleda anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Arboleda also set a new season high mark in total tackles with six. Another thorn in Navarre's side was Sawyer Schultz, who forced a fumble and made ten total tackles.
Meanwhile, Escambia won a game that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Bay 30-29. Given the Gators' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 107th, while the Tornadoes are ranked 354th), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Escambia had a senior duo take command as Nino Freeman threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns and Dorrion White gained 137 total yards and two touchdowns.
Mosley's win bumped their record up to 4-0. As for Escambia, they pushed their record up to 2-1 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season.
Mosley came up short against Escambia in their previous matchup back in October of 2019, falling 35-28. Thankfully for Mosley, Av Smith (who threw for 331 yards and five touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
