Gulf South Conference play begins Saturday afternoon for the University of West Florida football team.

The Argos begin their quest for their first conference title in program history in a road game against Delta State.

Navarre has risen one spot in this week’s Region 1-7A rankings.

The Raiders’ 24-14 win over Leon last week in Tallahassee helped their cause, and they are one of two area teams ranked in the region.

Navarre is still holding down a spot in the top eight of the Region 1-6A volleyball rankings.

The Raiders are one of three area teams to be ranked in the region in 6A.

Until last Tuesday, Navarre had never competed in a swim meet at the Gospel Project pool in Milton. In fact, head coach Mary Moorer admitted she didn’t know it existed.

But the pool was a little different than normal, especially with no blocks to dive off for the start of a race. The depth at the starting area was 10 feet and it dipped to 4 feet at the other end of the pool.

Most football players love the spotlight. As a long snapper at Huntingdon, Garrett Schluter would prefer that as few people know him as possible.

But don’t get him wrong. The former Navarre Raider enjoys playing the position at the college level.

Michael Carter led the New York Jets in rushing for the second consecutive week.

The former Navarre Raider kept that streak going Sunday afternoon against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High.

The one thing Navarre hasn’t done this season is start fast offensively against an opponent.

That changed on Friday as the Raiders built a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter and went on to defeat Leon 24-14 on a fall-like September evening at Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee.

Navarre head volleyball coach Ryan Davenport stood near his team’s bench and threw his hands up at one point late in last Tuesday’s match against Milton.

It was just one of those nights where enough didn’t go right as the Raiders lost to the rival Panthers for the second time this season.
