Swimming in a sea of pink, Seabreeze fans celebrated a 26-6 Homecoming game win over the Atlantic Sharks on Friday, Oct. 3, at Daytona Stadium.
With the win, the Sandcrabs evened their record at 3-3 and surpassed their win total from last year in coach Mike Klein's first season when they went 2-7.
Klein said his team came out flat.
“There were some interesting calls, some interesting penalties and just a lot of delays,” he said. “So it was kind of a funky first half.”
Seabreeze led 12-6 at halftime, scoring on a safety as Stephen Williams Jr. and Owen O’Rourke tackled Atlantic punter Nicholas Piper in the end zone; a 2-yard touchdown run by Logan Smith; and a field goal by Luke Zboch.
Avery McMillian scored for the Sharks with Cash Kurz blocking the extra- point attempt.
At halftime, Klein said he was “fired up” and employed the use of especially motivating words to impart the emotion.
I always tell them we don’t want to lose games at home to begin with and especially on a game like tonight where you’re playing for the pride of your school. With 100 years at Seabreeze, there’s a lot of pride to play for.
— MIKE KLEIN, Seabreeze head football coach
“We were a lot disappointed with ourselves, and I was a little fired up in the locker room at halftime,” he said. “They came out fired up too, so they did exactly what we said they needed to do in the second half. I’m so proud of them.
“... I always tell them we don’t want to lose games at home to begin with and especially on a game like tonight where you’re playing for the pride of your school. With 100 years at Seabreeze, there’s a lot of pride to play for.”
Smith maneuvered through traffic for a 1-yard touchdown midway into the third quarter. The Sandcrabs rushed for 229 yards. Smith finished with 80-yards rushing on 14 carries. Klein said Smith has gotten better every week since team captain Zach Voltaire broke his arm.
“Logan is one of our leaders,” Klein said. “He’s never played a ton of running back and he’s obviously playing a bunch for us now at that position. We’re trying to build an identity of physicality and of toughness and he’s really embodied that for us on both sides of the ball. I’m extremely proud of the young man — day in, day out. He gets it done in practice, in the classroom in school and out on the field.”
Smith said he attributes his continuous growth as a running back to in-game scenarios along with Klein’s tough practice regimen. But, Smith said he felt the Sandcrabs took the game against Atlantic for granted because the Sharks were coming in with a 0-5 record.
“Nobody liked the way we played in the first half,” he said. “Honestly, I think we came out and we thought that the win was just going to be handed to us because Atlantic was 0-5. We just didn’t come out with that fight. If we played the way we played against New Smyrna against Atlantic, it would have been a completely different game. But we came out in the second half and got things done.”
Kurz and Edison Parra led the defense with five tackles each. Simeon Daffin and Parra had two sacks apiece.
Klein said that as the Sandcrabs continue to build on their offense, quarterback Jayce Gainer is getting more comfortable with the passing game. Gainer completed two passes to Parra for 45 yards.
“People will criticize the quarterback, but it’s not always on the quarterback,” Klein said. “Sometimes the protection is bad or it’s a bad route or maybe even a bad snap. As the leader in that position, he’ll take it and he never shies away from being that guy.”
Seabreeze visits Deltona in a District 6-4A game on Friday, Oct. 10. The Wolves beat the Sandcrabs 13-10 in overtime last season.
“It was a game very similar to the New Smyrna game this year (which New Smyrna won 28-27 in double overtime on Sept. 26) where we kind of had them, we kind of let them off the hook, they came back and won in overtime. So, I don’t think I’m going to have to do a lot extra to get my players fired up … My leadership is good. Their drive is good. Focus is good. It’ll be a great week of preparation, but we want to come get a little revenge.”
Smith said it is definitely a redemption game.
“They beat us last year — that one hurt,” he said. “But we’re a much different team this year, and I’m excited for that. I have a lot of confidence in our team to get that done.”
