Isaiah Hayes drove into the lane for a layup midway through the second quarter, trimming the Gulf Breeze lead to two and brining the student section to its feet.

In that moment, it appeared the Navarre Raiders were in position to taking control of the momentum.

Michael Carter wrapped up his rookie season in the NFL Sunday.

The Navarre alum rushed for 19 yards on nine carries in the New York Jets’ 27-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Jayah Jones had a bag of ice wrapped around one of her legs and was still feeling a little under the weather late Tuesday night.

But neither pain nor illness kept Navarre’s sophomore star from putting forth a gutsy performance against Choctaw.

Every game counts a little more for Navarre’s girls soccer team at this time of the year, especially with its postseason hopes hanging in the balance.

So while the Raiders didn’t dominate Choctaw on a chilly Tuesday night at Joe Etheredge Stadium, they made the plays that were necessary to notch a 3-0 road victory.

Jayer Williamson is the king of the Pigskin Picks once again.

Williamson clinched the title Tuesday night after Kansas State beat LSU 42-20 in the Texas Bowl. He was the only one on the six-person panel to pick the Wildcats.

Dwayne Carter is excited about the direction C3Sports is headed in.

The sports clothing line business he started with his brothers, Michael and Josh, six years ago is poised to take another step forward with NIL (name, image and likeness) now in play for college athletes.

Less than a minute into Sunday afternoon’s game against Tampa Bay, New York Jets running back Michael Carter ripped off the longest run of his NFL career.

The rookie took the ball off a pitch from quarterback Zach Wilson, followed the lead of his blockers, dodged a few would-be tacklers and headed down the right sideline as the crowd at MetLife Stadium cheered.

Rachel Leggett had just reached a scoring milestone but she really wasn’t interested in the attention.

In typical Leggett fashion, the humble and unselfish Navarre basketball standout just wanted to keep playing. 

The joy of a championship. The heartbreak of an historic run coming to an end. The thrill of making a pro sports come true.

Those feelings and more highlighted the year in sports in 2021.

Four Navarre Raider football players are heading to the Lone Star State next week for the National Combine.

Linebacker Christian Caballero and offensive linemen Ethan Newman, Caleb Akers and BK Kast received invites and will have an opportunity to show off their skills this week in a three-day event (Jan. 6-8) at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
