Cocoa Beach High School will host Wheaton Academy at 4 p.m. on March 31 at Cocoa Beach High School’s baseball field in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The game is part of a non-league schedule and comes as both teams prepare for the final stretch of the regular season. Cocoa Beach, which has won six of its last eight games, will look to extend its winning streak against a Wheaton Academy team that enters the matchup with no wins on the season.
Cocoa Beach’s recent performance has included key victories over Southridge (2-6) and Coral Reef (7-3), though the team has struggled at times against stronger opponents like Columbia (5-6). The Highlanders’ 12-8 overall record includes a 0-0 mark at home, where they have yet to play this season. Meanwhile, Wheaton Academy has faced challenges in its early-season games, including losses to Kaneland (3-1) and Sycamore (4-2), but has also secured wins against Montini Catholic (5-1) and Fenton (16-1).
The matchup highlights a stark contrast in team performance. Cocoa Beach’s .600 win percentage is significantly higher than Wheaton Academy’s .000, though both teams have yet to play at home this season. Wheaton Academy’s only wins came in road games, while Cocoa Beach has split its results between home and away contests. The game will be the first for Wheaton Academy in Florida and offers an opportunity for the visiting team to gain confidence against a ranked opponent.
Local fans and players alike are watching the game closely as a potential indicator of how each team will fare in the postseason. With Cocoa Beach’s recent momentum and Wheaton Academy’s need for a breakthrough, the March 31 contest promises to be a test of both teams’ resilience as they approach the final weeks of the season.
