Logan Smith scored on a 4-yard run with 1:08 left to give Seabreeze a 14-13 victory over Deltona on Friday, Oct. 10, at Deltona.
Smith, who ran for 100 yards on 14 carries, scored both Seabreeze touchdowns. Jayce Gainer’s 34-yard pass to Danny Spada set up the winning score, which gave the Sandcrabs their first lead of the game.
“We had to come back to win. It was the first time we were in that position this year,” Seabreeze coach Mike Klein said. “And when it mattered most the guys made plays on both sides of the ball. It was nice to fight back and go get it.”
The Sandcrabs improved to 4-3. It is the first time they’ve had a winning record since 2021.
If not for a double-overtime loss to New Smyrna Beach on Sept. 26, Seabreeze would be in the hunt for a district title. New Smyrna forced overtime with a late touchdown and then blocked a Seabreeze extra-point attempt in the second OT period to win, 28-27.
“The New Smyrna Beach game haunts us a little bit,” Klein said.
Seabreeze has won two straight since that loss. In battling back against Deltona (3-4), the Sandcrabs avenged a 13-10 overtime loss to the Wolves in last year’s season finale.
“Deltona had good gameplan. Our defensive line played lights out. We were able to shut down the run inside for the most part and put a lot of pressure on their quarterback,” Klein said.
Aaden Baldwin scored both touchdowns for the Wolves on runs of 70 and 80 yards.
“They broke a few big runs,” Klein said “We were misaligned and they took advantage of it. They’re good enough to turn those into big plays.”
Deltona went for a 2-point conversion and failed after Baldwin’s 70-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. That turned out to be the difference in the game.
Baldwin’s 80-yard score on the first play of the second half gave the Wolves a 13-0 lead. Seabreeze's Smith scored his first touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter to finish off a 54-yard, five-and-a-half minute drive.
Smith averaged 7.1 yards a carry with a long run of only 16 yards. He also had three tackles on defense. This was the senior’s first 100-yard rushing game, but it was his third game in a row with 80 or more yards. He rushed for 95 yards against New Smyrna and 80 yards against Atlantic on Oct. 3.
“Logan was steady as he always is. He had a great game for us,” Klein said.
Gainer passed for a season-high 74 yards. Eddie Parra had two sacks on defense and Matthew Wells added two tackles for loss.
Seabreeze travels outside of Volusia and Flagler counties for the first and only time this season for a game against Viera (4-3) on Friday, Oct. 17.
“Viera has won some big games and battled some big opponents,” Klein said.
Viera and Seabreeze have had two common opponents. Viera edged Rockledge 22-21 in the teams’ season opener (Rockledge handed the Sandcrabs their worst loss of the season at 47-7). Viera fell in its second game of the season to Deltona, 14-6.
Seabreeze's remaining games are at Pine Ridge (2-6) on Oct. 24 and the season-ender against Mainland (4-2) on Oct. 31 at Daytona Stadium.
“We’re taking it one week at a time, but we want to finish the year strong,” Klein said.
