Win, lose and draw

This time of the year every game is a challenge, according to Navarre girls’ soccer coach Rob Simon. In a week of non-district matchups, the Raiders beat a very tough Choctawhatchee team on Monday Jan. 7, tied Pensacola Catholic on Tuesday Jan. 8 and succumbed to West Florida after leading the game for the first 60 minutes on Friday, Jan. 11.

The Raiders looked especially good in the win over Choctaw and in the second half of play against Catholic, Simon said.

“If we could play 80 minutes in a game like we did the last 30 minutes against Catholic, we could be a very tough team in the district playoffs,” he said.
