I took a moment to look at the spot in the driveway where our basketball court used to be while on a trip home a couple of weeks ago.
It’s safe to say it doesn’t look the same as it did in the 1980s and early 90s.

High school sports means a lot to people in small towns, big cities and everywhere in between across the country.
It is a big deal to those who follow it, and everyone wants to see their respective high school team be successful. But sometimes it doesn’t always work out that way.

It seems this county is often all feasibility studies and surveys and no real action.
Perhaps this time will be different. Perhaps this time we will finally get the public outdoor pool Santa Rosa County so desperately needs, and that honestly, should have been a reality a long time ago.

Anyone who has read my columns in the past knows I’m not the biggest fan of the Florida High School Athletic Association.
I’ve been critical. A lot. But when it comes to the FHSAA being at fault for the chaos that has ensued with high school athletes transferring, you are looking in the wrong direction. Look over to Tallahassee instead.

Dear Santa Rosa County School District, I saw some pictures of Pine Forest’s new track and it looks beautiful.
It’s a rubberized track that will be ready to go for the spring. I wish we could say the same for schools in this county when it comes to tracks in the area.

Congratulations to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). It had its “useful as a lifeguard at the Olympics” moment a couple of weeks ago when it officially approved Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) for high school athletes.

For anyone out there saying things like ‘Division III football isn’t good enough for me,’ ‘I’m so much better than that’ or ‘those dudes don’t really even know how to play football,’ you might want to reconsider that faulty line of thinking.
Because if you’ve heard of Quinn Meinerz of the Denver Broncos, then you know he is a former D-III player who just got paid a whole lot of money to keep playing football.

No matter where you live in Santa Rosa County, you have to be proud to have someone representing this area on one of the biggest stages.
In this instance, we’re talking about Navarre alum Emily (Madril) Sams, who is in Paris this week for the 2024 Olympics. She’s an alternate on the United States Women’s National Soccer Team.

We have a football all-star game and a basketball all-star game. We also have all-star games for soccer, baseball and softball. Those are the typical sports you’d expect to have a game for simply because they are the high-profile ones in this area.

Good news for Navarre. The Raider baseball and softball programs now have their coaches in place.
I’d like to think everyone is happy with the two who have been chosen to fill those roles, but this is high school sports we are talking about, so maybe not.
