Rain falls on a July morning off Navarre Beach. Not exactly ideal conditions for beach volleyball.

Luckily, Maggie Kisiel doesn’t have to worry about playing. She’s just here to talk about her experience in the game.

Bo Hering is already motivated about the upcoming college football season.

For starters, he’s a senior at Maryville College.

Auburn quarterback Bo Nix has an endorsement deal with Milo’s. Fresno State twin basketball stars Haley and Hanna Cavinder are endorsing Boost Mobile. LSU volleyball player Lexi Sun has her own clothing line.

Those scratch the surface of the opportunities college athletes are cashing in on with the NCAA allowing them to profit off name, image and likeness.

Michael Sandle’s dream of playing pro baseball came true Monday afternoon.

The University of South Alabama outfielder was taken by the Houston Astros in the 10th round of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft.

Day after day for nearly three weeks now, Navarre has only had itself to compete against.

That all changed on a sunny and humid Thursday morning as the Raiders squared off against Escambia in a 7-on-7 competition on their own practice field.

On a Friday morning inside Pensacola State’s Hartsell Arena, Navarre’s boys basketball team is in the midst of a tight battle with Washington during a summer hoops tournament at Pensacola State.

The fact that the Raiders are back on the court for live action in the summer for the first time since 2019 is a huge deal. The opportunity was taken away last summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The college football season has yet to begin, and already, University of West Florida quarterback Austin Reed is getting recognition.

Reed has been named one of the top 20 signal callers in NCAA Division II by the College Football Network.

Derek Percivalle still thinks about the ball that he initially deflected in the end zone during Navarre’s playoff game against Buchholz last November.

The receiver he was guarding still managed to get his hands on the ball, and that touchdown left the Raiders staring at a 28-point deficit early in the third quarter of an eventual 35-14 loss.

Jake Eder will join Max Meyer in the 2021 All-Star Futures Game Sunday at Coors Field in Denver.

The pitching stars played integral roles in the success of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos this season and are among the Miami Marlins’ top prospects.

Emily Madril has dealt with defeat before in her soccer career, but the loss Florida State suffered against Santa Clara in the national championship game in May cut deeper than usual.

In a game decided by a penalty kick shootout, Madril walked off the field with tears in her eyes and the added sting of knowing the Seminoles should have prevailed.
