Navarre came through with a team victory in the Choctaw Freestyle Invitational last Saturday afternoon in Destin.

The combined scores between the boys and girls teams gave the Raiders the overall win.

Michael Carter doesn’t want one amazing game or a great season to define an NFL career that is set to take flight during his rookie season with the New York Jets.

History is dotted with moments of players in the spotlight one day and forgotten the next, and the fourth-round pick of the Jets out of the University of North Carolina needs no reminder of it.

Claire Sczesny had no complaints about her first regular swim meet of the season with the Navarre.

After sitting out last season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the junior was most happy last Tuesday about just being back in the pool with her Raider teammates.

Welcome to another year of Pigskin Picks.

After not having the competition a year ago due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the fun returns this year and we have some familiar faces as well as a couple of newcomers.

Ivan Bateman started feeling the pain as he ran the first lap of the Dolphin Dash on a hot and humid Thursday afternoon in Gulf Breeze.

“I was in a little bit of pain because I got shin splints,” Bateman said. “The first lap was tough, but after that, the adrenaline kicked in.”

Navarre is trying to fill a void in its football schedule due the fact that its opponent out of New Orleans is unable to make the trip as a result of Hurricane Ida’s impact on Louisiana.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Raider head coach Jay Walls was still working on finding a replacement, and he talked about that in a phone interview.

Three years ago in Ryan Davenport’s first season as the head coach of Navarre’s volleyball team, the Raiders stumbled in their opener, losing in three games to Milton. Later that season, Navarre avenged the setback with a three-game win.

Which is why Davenport isn’t too concerned about last Tuesday’s season-opening loss to Milton in a match that had a playoff-like feel to it.

What a week it’s been for Michael Sandle.

In a series against the Down East Wood Ducks in Kinston, North Carolina, the former Navarre Raider turned in the best performance of his career to date as a pro, including nearly hitting for the cycle Sunday afternoon.

Michael Carter saw time in the New York Jets’ final game of the NFL preseason Friday night. 

Terence Marshall jumped up and celebrated with his Navarre teammates as he made his way to the sideline Friday night.

Only a sophomore, Marshall had just scored his second touchdown of the game, this time leaping and snagging a touchdown throw from Kyle Chambers to extend the Raiders’ lead over Fort Walton Beach to double digits.
