Seabreeze kicker Luke Zboch barely missed a field goal from about 45 yards that would have given the Sandcrabs a win over Titusville Astronaut in their kickoff classic.
Seabreeze wound up tying the War Eagles 6-6 at Astronaut’s Storey-Taylor Stadium on Friday, Aug. 15. Zboch booted two field goals from about 30 and 40 yards, Sandcrabs coach Mike Klein said, to account for all of Seabreeze’s scoring.
The 6-foot-6 senior also had a 60-plus-yard punt and three kickoffs for touchbacks. He went 2 for 4 on field goals for the night, showing off a strong leg on every attempt.
The fact that Zboch got four field-goal attempts shows that the Sandcrabs were able to move the ball but weren’t able to finish drives with touchdowns. The fact that the score was 6-6 shows that the defense also played well to keep Seabreeze in the game.
“We were solid,” Klein said. “We just made too many mistakes. We played good on defense. And the offense was able to move the ball; we just shot ourselves in the foot.”
The ’Crabs’ put together an 18-play, time-consuming drive on their first possession before settling for Zboch’s first field goal. On defense, Cash Kurz had an interception and their only major miscue was giving up a 40-yard touchdown run on a jet sweep.
“We had too many penalties and mistakes like drops and missed assignments,” Klein said. “But all these things we can clean up.”
The Sandcrabs open the season on Friday, Aug. 22 at Spruce Creek in their annual Week 1 rivalry game.
We always play Creek in Game 1 and end the season against Mainland. We’re excited for it. The guys are locked in. They want to play well this year.
— MIKE KLEIN, Seabreeze football coach
“This game means something to the guys,” Klein said. “We always play Creek in Game 1 and end the season against Mainland. We’re excited for it. The guys are locked in. They want to play well this year.”
Spruce Creek reached the second round of the playoffs last year and humbled an inexperienced Seabreeze team 50-0 in Klein’s first game as the Sandcrabs’ head coach.
This year, the ’Crabs are much more prepared, Klein said.
“We had a great summer,” he said before preseason camp. “This will be an exciting year.”
Seabreeze will play nine of its 10 games close to home with an Oct. 17 game at Viera the only contest scheduled outside of Volusia and Flagler counties.
