Alabama freshman basketball star Brandon Miller is the biggest story in college basketball right now. And for all the wrong reasons.
Innocent in the eyes of the law, he’s drawn unwanted attention in the national spotlight because of his connection to a murder.

Out and About
If you are reading Navarre Press, then you care about your community and you are an informed citizen. There may be many reasons you want to know what is happening in your community.
Perhaps you don’t want to be the last to know, or maybe you want to be the first to know.

I know Tony Carter has wanted to be a head high school football coach for the longest time. And now, the long-time Navarre football assistant will get that chance.
He’s the new head coach at Pine Forest, and when it comes to home run hires, the Eagles knocked it out of the park in landing Carter to run the show.

For God’s Sake: To God be the glory
I occasionally have a troubling dream of the kind students have during a school year.
You know the kind, in your dream you arrive at school late and learn that you missed an important exam, or you were to give a presentation that day in class.

One of the things in life that is certain is change. Time brings about healing, distance from what it was we were fired up about and a willingness to look to a better future.
Not all change is good – and change for the sake of change is not good. But last week, Navarre got to experience change for the better. Two chambers – once a source of dividing our community – have come together as one. It was something that required the right people and the right time.

Chambers Unite
It was a great day for Navarre businesses on Friday, Feb. 17, at the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce awards and installation breakfast.
After a year of hard work behind the scenes, the two chambers became one again.

Governor announcements make planning difficult
There’s something that has bothered me about the way Gov. Ron DeSantis does business since he took office in early 2019 and it has nothing to do with his politics.
I’ve been covering the news in Northwest Florida for close to 20 years now at different publications.

For God’s Sake: Grace is God’s unearned favor
I follow a Florida-based jazz guitarist on Facebook. I learned about him through my online search for other guitarists who play an archtop guitar made by a little-known luthier.
This guitarist has one, and we corresponded briefly about our love for these guitars.

Driving me crazy
It’s hard to believe I’ve been back overseeing the Crestview News Bulletin and Santa Rosa’s Press Gazette for more than two months now.
There have been some minor hiccups along the way, more on that later, but overall the job has gone better than I could have hoped.

MaxPreps has a much bigger role now in high school athletics than it once did.
That status update is the result of the FHSAA partnering up with it when it comes to calculating rankings that determines who goes and who stays home when it comes to the postseason in all sports.
