Chris Hering has played in a lot of football games in his life. Never before has the former Navarre Raider experienced what he did during Huntingdon’s season opener against Guilford over Labor Day weekend.
Navarre’s swim team opened its season with a pair of meets last week, taking on area powerhouse Washington in a dual meet at home Tuesday before competing in a meet with Gulf Breeze and Pace the next day at Hunter Pool.
Navarre girls golf coach Samantha Holt still hears stories from her golfers about running into fellow students who have no clue there is a girls golf team at the high school.
Chris Williams saw an opening and ran through it. Eight yards later, the senior running back was in the end zone. Williams pointed to the sky as he crossed the goal line late in the second quarter, his way of honoring a fallen former teammate.
Late in the fourth quarter Thursday night, a University of West Florida victory all but secured, Navarre’s own Quentin Randolph turned to the crowd behind the end zone and saw some of his hometown boys.
Somewhere in heaven, Darnell Deas is looking down on his friend, Chris Williams, and his face is lit up with that infectious smile he was known for during in his time on this Earth.
