They won a berth in the postseason with a 42-19 drubbing of district foe Viera. 'Cudas Coach Lance Jenkins was pleased as well. Check out our exclusive videos. At left, 2010 Homecoming Queen Kacey Joiner is all smiles before the raucous fans at the NSB Sports Complex, as she and the fans dealt with nightime temps that dipped into the low 50s. Believe it or not, even Coach Jenkins was smiling (OK, maybe not) after the game.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Even 'Cudas Coach Lance Jenkins caught a glimpse of Homecoming during halftime of the New Smyrna Beach romp of Viera that mercifully ended 42-19. The win Friday night at the New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex before a packed home crowd meant a second consecutive post-season in District 14-4A and first under Jenkins.
The back-to-back postseason berths was accomplished for the first time since the beginning of the decade. The Barracudas, now 5-4 for the season, and 1-1 in district play, travel to ddistrict champ Fort Pierce Central on Nov. 19, a team that is undefeated at 8-0.
Friday night's game started off with a bang as NSB's Jeff Schofield returned the opening kickoff 50 yards. That drive led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Sean Washington to put the 'Cudas up 7-0.
By halftime, the lead had swelled to 21-7 on a 62-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Evan Schroeder to Raheem Mostert. The speedy receiver also returned a 62-yard punt for a touchdown in the third quarter.
