Senior night is ahead for Navarre’s boys soccer team. The Raiders will celebrate it tonight (Thursday) in a 7 p.m. game against Mosley at the NYSA Soccer Complex.

There was a time last year when the Raiders weren’t even sure they’d get a season. That makes having this opportunity a little more meaningful.

 It was a battle from start to finish but Navarre’s boys basketball team found a way to take out Tate for the second time this season.

The Raiders grinded out a 61-54 victory, notching their fifth win of the season, and they did it behind three players scoring in double digits, including 21 from Malik George.

Hunter Wallace stood just yards away from the goal, her breath visible in the frosty January air, as she plotted out her next move.

A penalty kick opportunity awaited the junior standout and she was determined to cash in on it.

Opting out has become a hot topic in a crazy college football season that has been played amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

So hot, in fact, that it has fueled comments on social media that cannot be printed in a newspaper.

Minor League Baseball is changing in 2021, and that change has impacted the future of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

The Miami Marlins extended an invitation for the Blue Wahoos to become their Double-A affiliate, and the Northwest Florida franchise has accepted it, breaking off from its previous partnership with the Minnesota Twins.

Jeremiah Chavis-Mhoon’s senior season was over in the blink of an eye.

In the first quarter of the first game, Navarre’s standout offensive lineman went down with an injury that ended his year.

Luke Losquadro and Alyssa Allen both were awarded MVP honors for their successful seasons on the Navarre swim team.

They were the high-point award winners as well, with Losquadro going all the way to state in the 50 and 100 freestyle events.

It began with losing Kobe Bryant. And that one stung. Losing all-time greats at a young age is never an easy pill to swallow.

That should have been enough for 2020. But it wasn’t. The year got reckless and just kept delivering punch after punch.

Zy Beckman and Nathan Green have been playing soccer together since third grade. Both seniors on the Navarre boys soccer team, their time on the same field won’t end after this year is over.

That’s because the two longtime friends have opted to continue on as teammates at the college level, committing to Belhaven University in Mississippi.

In a few weeks a long wait will come to an end. Navarre’s softball team will play games that matter again, something it hasn’t done since March when the season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three seniors will head up the charge. Rachel Hester, Jessica Oakley and Kaitlyn Wollenzien are the veterans of a young team ready to play the sport it loves again.
