After an NCAA tournament run in which the memories of it will remain in place forever, Michael Sandle now shifts his attention to the potential of being taken in July’s Major League Baseball Draft.

Sandle just completed his fourth season  in the lineup at the University of South Alabama, helping the Jaguars reach the NCAA tournament, and the former Navarre Raider is ready for the possibility of becoming a pro.

Nick Fortes didn’t get a hit in his first three at-bats Tuesday night at Blue Wahoos Stadium.

But with the game on the line in the ninth inning, Pensacola’s designated hitter didn’t disappoint.

Chris DeCorte hasn’t always been a running back.

But since moving from the defensive to offensive side of the ball, the rising senior has embraced his new role on Navarre’s football team.

There are always different paths available to the same destination, and often the same result, and that is exactly what college football is shooting for as it looks into blazing a new trail to a championship.

The current playoff format is four teams. Save for an exception here or there, it’s typically the same teams competing for a title year after year, with Alabama, of course, being the safest bet in the game.

Quinn Caballero arrived on the campus of Charleston Southern having to prove himself all over again.

Not that it was anything new for the talented wide receiver and former Navarre Raider.

Bailey Huston, Korey Betts and John Mahoney played one final game Wednesday night on humid June evening in Pensacola.

The result wasn’t what they hoped for in the Subway All-Star Game, and yet, the Navarre baseball standouts still relished the opportunity they were given.

It had been more than a month since Rachel Hester last pitched in a game, but if there were any signs of rust, she did a phenomenal job of hiding it in last Wednesday night’s Subway All-Star Softball Game.

Hester struck out two batters in the first inning of action, looking as sharp as ever during her time in the circle. She also came through with a big hit in her first at-bat of the night.

Back pain was getting the best of Abigail Pantlitz. Doubts crept into her mind as well.

She was early into her first collegiate track season at Liberty University and was really close to calling it a day during an indoor meet.

He didn’t come away with the win or the loss on Sunday afternoon.

But what Jake Eder did do was look as impressive as ever in his latest start for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

Davion Hardy caught a pass near the sideline early in the opening quarter and made a move for a few extra yards, giving Navarre a first down in its spring game against Milton Friday night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

It was one of several big plays the rising senior tight end made against the Panthers on a night where he was hyped up about facing an actual opponent on the field after three weeks of practice.
