“Best senior class in Cocoa history,” Cocoa head coach Ryan Schneider said after the game. “We won three in a row, but we’ve been to four straight state championships. It’s a class of winners. I’m more proud of the type of people they are off the field.”
The mayor, along with the school’s principal and coach, were out at the event.
“It means a lot for us as a team and for Cocoa the most,” said Jayvan Boggs, star wide receiver and recent Florida State Seminoles. “The legacy at Cocoa, the three-peat, we did it once, and now we did it again.”
