Games of Wiffle ball are in the midst of being played on a steamy and sunny summer morning at the Raider baseball field.

It’s the last day of the youth camp being put on by the Navarre baseball team, and after a couple of days of instruction, this is the time of the camp to just get out on the field and have fun.

Up against one of the nation’s best teams and barely a month into her freshman season at Flagler, Rachel Hester rose to the occasion in a big moment.

Rather than cave under the weight of trying to hold down a 3-1 lead against third-ranked Valdosta State, Hester cooled off the Blazers, holding them scoreless over the final three innings while striking out two to earn a big save.

Ali Gutierrez knows a lot about softball, having played it most of her life.

But in the first two seasons of her college career at William Carey, the former Navarre Raider has gained even more knowledge about the game.

It’s almost time for year two of the Michael Carter era in New York.

Coming off a productive rookie season in the NFL as a running back for the Jets, the former Navarre Raider talked earlier this offseason about building on that campaign.

The wait is over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

After missing out twice on a chance to clinch the first-half Southern League South Division title, the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins got the job done Thursday  night with a 10-6 win over Biloxi.

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos are still within striking distance of clinching the first-half Southern League South Division title.

But their hopes of claiming the crown will have to wait after a 5-3 loss to Biloxi Tuesday night in Mississippi.

Navarre’s girls basketball team is using the summer months to its advantage.

Losing two of its best players on the team and area to graduation, the Raiders are working to forge an identity and build a team bond that will set itself up for success this winter.

Eddie Love Jr. got his first taste of varsity football late last fall and immediately found success.

He scored his first career touchdown and seemed to not a miss a beat in the spring as he scored a couple of touchdowns in Navarre’s spring game last month against Gulf Breeze.

Practice is underway on a humid summer night at the NYSA Soccer Complex, and talented teen soccer standouts are getting ready to keep their special club season with Navarre United rolling along.

They wrapped up April with an FYSA President’s Cup championship, punching a ticket to Texas for the regional stage of the tourney.

Navarre head girls soccer coach Rob Simon sits at a table checking in youth players for another day of Raider soccer camp.

That check-in process ends up taking a while. After all, more than 100 young athletes are here at the NYSA Soccer Complex this week. The 131-player total is the largest ever.
