Hailey Snider will find herself in a new position on the volleyball court this season. Accustomed to being a middle hitter, Snider is now taking over an outside hitter position.

One of the top hitters on the Navarre volleyball team, the move is one that is just fine for the rising senior.

Single-game tickets for the University of West Florida football team go on sale to the general public at Noon Monday.

Madison Simmons focused on making the most of every opportunity that came her way this summer as a basketball player.

With the bar set high within the Navarre Raider basketball program, the rising junior understands there is no room for slacking off as she puts in work in preparation for the upcoming season.

Rain begins to fall hard as Navarre’s soccer players hit the stadium turf to fine tune their ball skills.

The wet weather soon gives way to sunshine and added humidity, but nothing is stopping the girls from putting in work here on a Thursday morning in mid-July.

Four Navarre football players had an opportunity to experience life at the mecca of college football earlier this summer.

Promising rising sophomores Josh Wilson, Mason Baker, Jack Helton and Marcuise Taylor spent a couple of days at a camp at Alabama in June.

Andre Spence snagged the football off a pass from Hunter Pfiester, dodged a defender or two and took off down the field for the end zone.

That play was one of several made by the Raiders during their final 7 on 7 of the summer.

Nick Brahms sat in the stands with four of his senior teammates sharing cigars and reflecting on their Auburn football careers on a chilly November evening inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The gut punch of 24-22 four-overtime loss to rival Alabama in the Iron Bowl was still fresh, the sting cutting deep, and yet, this group of players kept a pregame promise to enjoy a moment together in the now empty stadium, which hours earlier, was roaring with more than 87,000 fans.

At a camp at the University of West Florida in early July, Navarre’s volleyball team showed just how good it has the potential to be this fall.

Of the 24 teams at the camp, two Raider squads reached the final four of a tournament there. Navarre nearly won the tournament but missed the title by only two points.

Football life comes at you fast. Just ask Everette Alford.

Hired to be the defensive coordinator at Lighthouse Private Christian Academy earlier this year, he learned Thursday that he is now the head coach of the program.

Brahms, the starting center for the Auburn Tigers, is in the running once again for an award that is presented to the top center in college football.
