Victory wasn’t out of reach for the East in the Subway All-Star Soccer Games Thursday night at the Ashton Brosnaham Complex in Pensacola.

Featuring five Navarre soccer standouts, the East team dominated the girls game in shutout fashion while the boys’ East squad, which featured three Raiders, saw its tightly-contested battle decided by penalty kicks.

Tommy Leggett has been down this road before. The one where the voices of the doubters start to grow louder.

It doesn’t bother the former Navarre and Texas Tech standout. He embraces it as he prepares himself for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Azeria Trandell crushed the ball over the fence in centerfield and suddenly Navarre’s softball team had new life.

A two-run deficit had been erased as the Raiders tied the game with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the fourth inning against Tate last Thursday night.

When Navarre’s softball team walked off the field after its game against Gulf Breeze on March 12, 2020, it had no idea it would be the last time a game would be played that season.

The COVID-19 pandemic was only supposed to shut down schools for two weeks.

Last Friday night didn’t go the way Navarre’s boys lacrosse team hoped. The Raiders were beat 20-0 by West Florida in their home opener at the NYSA’s Ian Lockwood Field.

But not every night in the early part of this season has been a tough one.

Amber Leggett added to her legacy at Sam Houston State this week, receiving the top honor in the Southland Conference.

She became just the second player in program history to be named the conference’s player of the year, and she did thanks to a season that was nothing short of impressive.

Seventeen hits, seven pitchers and 20 runs.

That’s what Navarre and Washington combined for in a wild game Monday night that ended with the Raiders falling 12-8.

To the parents, I understand your frustration with the school board and the schools themselves over the quarantine rules in place.

To the athletes, I know how tough it can be on you to miss practices and games because of the quarantine.

Third down. Tied game. Second overtime. The pressure to make a play mounting for Navarre against rival Gulf Breeze.

And here’s Tailor Ernst, dropping back to throw even as the pass rusher charges at her and gets her hands in her face.

Navarre’s track team competed in the Wildcat Invitational Saturday at Sherman L. Robinson Stadium in Pensacola.

Rachel Leggett won two events while Brandon Boynton set a new personal-best in the pole vault.
