Foundation Academy and Cocoa Beach will play each other on September 4 at Cocoa Beach High School in what could be a pivotal early-season test for both teams. The game will be the first meeting between the two schools this season, though Foundation Academy holds a 37-34 win over Cocoa Beach in their last matchup on September 4, 2025. Both teams enter the game with identical 0-0 records in their respective schedules, but recent results suggest neither program has found consistent success yet this season. Foundation Academy’s lone win came against Eustis 26-7 on August 28, while Cocoa Beach lost to Bayside 28-14 and Holy Trinity Episcopal 41-10 in their first two games. The game will be broadcast live on SBLive, with updates available through the platform. Foundation Academy’s recent performance has been mixed, with a 18-50 loss to Mount Dora Christian Academy and a 48-42 defeat to Lake Highland Prep, though they did beat St. Joseph Academy 28-14. Cocoa Beach has struggled more visibly, losing three straight games by an average margin of 21 points. The matchup will take place on the Cocoa Beach campus, giving the home team a potential advantage. Both coaches have not commented publicly on strategy ahead of the game, but fans are expected to fill the stands. The game is part of a non-league schedule for both teams, which means the result will not impact playoff seeding but could influence momentum heading into district play. Last season’s game between the teams was a back-and-forth contest, with Foundation Academy taking the lead late in the fourth quarter before Cocoa Beach rallied for the win. This year’s game will be the first of four scheduled meetings between the schools over the next two seasons.
