District play begins tonight for the Navarre football team as it hits the road to take on Tate.

The Raiders and Aggies square off at 7 p.m. at Pete Gindl Stadium and Navarre is hoping to take its first step towards a championship for the first time since 2018.

Dante Wright announced on Monday that he will be headed into the NCAA Transfer Portal in December.

He expressed his gratitude to the program in a post on Twitter.

Until this year, Marissa Turner had never run cross-country.

She did track as a freshman at Navarre last spring but was pulled into a new sport this fall.

Gavin Anthony is no stranger to running in the heat and humidity that seems to envelope
early-season cross-country meets.

Out of breath, soaked in sweat and no doubt tired, the Navarre senior admits the warm weather caught up to him a little bit at the Patriot Invitational in Pace over Labor Day weekend.

Navarre volleyball coach Ryan Davenport walked along the sideline and rubbed his forehead as the Raiders fell further behind Washington in the third set of last Thursday night’s match in Pensacola. The look of frustration on his face said it all.

This was one of those nights where the Raiders battled the Wildcats tough in three close games but couldn’t make enough plays to put themselves over the top in a 24-26, 25-27, 18-25 loss.

As storm clouds loomed over the golf course at Tiger Point early last Thursday afternoon, the Navarre girls golf team wasn’t sure it would get a chance to play its tri-match with Pace and Gulf Breeze.

But the Raiders did soon get on the course as sunshine broke through the clouds and while the weather changed, the consistency of Navarre golfer Hailey Netro did not.

Willie Jordan set a school record for an interception return and the University of West Florida offense also continued to roll in a 49-10 win over Southwest Baptist Saturday night in Missouri.

Jordan ran a pick back 99 yards for a score while seventh-ranked UWF racked up 400 yards of offense as they improved to 2-0 on the season.

Navarre’s swim team competed at the Panama City Beach Invitational Saturday.

Several swimmers earned top 10 finishes for the Raiders on a day when the meet was called early because of rain.
