Marisa Turner recorded the top time for Navarre’s girls cross-country team at Saturday’s Patriot Invitational Saturday morning in Pace.

Turner crossed the finish line in 23:50.80, good enough for 32nd overall, to pave the way for the Raiders. Gavin Anthony  had the top boys time for Navarre, placing 22nd with a time of 18:50.20.

Kyra McKelvey is set to live the dream as a college volleyball player.

The Navarre standout will take her talents to the Division I level next fall, committing to Southeastern Louisiana.

Chase Jennings took a moment to catch his breath after swimming the 200 IM at last Tuesday’s meet at the Pullum YMCA.

It’s still early in the season, but for Jennings, a senior standout on the Navarre swim team, he’s happy with where things stand so far but not satisfied.

Nick Brahms made the toughest decision of his football career last week when he announced Monday on social media that he was stepping away from the sport he loves.

Poised to be a starter for the fifth consecutive year with the Auburn Tigers, the Navarre alum said in a post that the wear and tear of the game had simply taken too much of a toll on him.

Less than five minutes. That’s how long it took for Byron Jarrett to throw the first of his four touchdown passes on the night.

He found Caden Leggett on a 40-yard scoring strike at the 11:12 mark of the opening quarter and the route was on as the University of West Florida football team rolled past Warner 52-3 in its season opener Saturday night at Pen Air Field.

Navarre’s opportunity to make a statement will have to wait.

The Raiders started strong against state-ranked Pine Forest but couldn’t sustain the momentum in a 39-9 loss to the Eagles Friday night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

Navarre faces one of its biggest test of the football season Friday night when it battles state-ranked Pine Forest in its home opener.

The Raiders take on the No. 10 Eagles, the 2021 6A state runner-up, in a non-district showdown at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

Dante Wright tweeted out in July that he is “locked in this season.”

That’s good news for the Colorado State Rams. Probably not so much for the opponents, who will have to deal with a receiver considered to be one of the best playmakers in college football.

Julia Irmen ran across the court and bumped the ball into the air. Kyra McKelvey did the rest, elevating from the left side of the net and drilling it.

Choctaw tried to keep the ball in play and extend the life of this decisive fifth set, but the attempt to send it back failed as the ball dropped in front of its side of the net.

Quinn Caballero experienced the thrill of winning a championship a year ago. East Tennessee State won the Southern Conference crown and punched a ticket to the FCS playoffs.

It’s a feeling the former Navarre Raider hopes to experience again.
