Venice (Florida)

Armwood sprung the upset last week with a 34-25 win over Venice, dropping the Indians from No. 7 to 22 in the SBLive Florida Power 25.

Venice will have to shore up its run defense against Cocoa after giving up 305 yards and four touchdowns to Girard Pringle last week.

Cocoa (Florida)

Cocoa got an interception in the end zone from O’Kece Battle on the final play of the game last week to beat Jones (Orlando) 22-20 in its regular-season opener.

The Tigers started 6-foot-5 sophomore Brady Hart at quarterback to replace Blake Boda, who's now at Coastal Carolina after leading Cocoa to a state championship last season.
