Defensive back De’Mareyae Givens hadn’t forgotten the pain of last season’s gut-wrenching ending to the season. The University of West Florida Argonauts lost to Newberry in their first ever home playoff game, which was played at Blue Wahoos Stadium.
He and his teammates didn’t want history repeating itself.
Chase Jennings couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by nerves as he prepared to compete in the prelims of the 3A state swim meet in Stuart earlier this month.
Of course, those nerves were understandable, especially with this being the Navarre senior standout’s first time ever competing at state.
Terry Posey liked what he saw from his team against Milton last Wednesday night in a preseason tip-off tournament at Pace.
Certainly, everything isn’t perfect and most of the players on the team are new to varsity, but live action can’t be duplicated, and the Raiders took advantage of it in a 58-55 win.
Michael Carter and the New York Jets fell short of avenging last month’s loss to New England, falling 10-3 to the Patriots in a defensive battle Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
Michael Carter entered the bye week with the New York Jets on a positive note.
Carter scored a touchdown and rushed for a season-best 76 yards in last week’s win over the Buffalo Bills as the Jets improved to 6-3 and sit just a half game back of Buffalo in the AFC East standings.
The UWF baseball team has unveiled its 2023 schedule. The schedule includes 27 home games.
The Argos will begin the campaign with a three-game series at Florida Southern and then host seven consecutive games at home, starting with Rollins.
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos have hired Steve Brice as their new executive vice president and general manager.
Brice has 15 years of experience in baseball, most recently working as director of corporate sponsorships for the Tennessee Smokies.
Andrew Ottley and Kohen Brauner are the captains on this year’s boys soccer team at Navarre and they understand the importance of that role.
“It’s a big role to play,” Brauner said. “It’s important to keep a good attitude and help lift up the teammates.”
A rigorous schedule for the Navarre Raider girls soccer team is by design. The Raiders want to play great competition in the hope that it prepares them to be at their best for the postseason.
They were tested twice this past weekend, facing opposition out of the Jacksonville area at the Navarre Soccer Complex, and came away with a split.
