Former Navarre Raider Gatlin Casey, a freshman at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, will be part of the team that plays the 150th football game between Lehigh and Lafayette College at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, N.Y., on Nov. 22.
After graduating 12 seniors last year, most teams would be going through a rebuilding year. However, if the preseason is any indication, the Raiders look to be contenders once again.
Navarre could have captured their third straight District 2-6A crown with a victory over Choctaw last Friday night, but instead, they will have to wait until Halloween to learn their fate in the district race.
The Lady Raiders raised $11,000 during the fourth annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness volleyball game Oct. 8 against Pensacola’s Washington Wildcats.
In a contest between two evenly matched teams, the outcome is usually determined by the team that makes the most big plays or the fewest mistakes. Last Friday night at Eagle Stadium, Niceville made a few more plays and took advantage of a crucial Raider turnover. As a result, the Raiders suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the third ranked Eagles.
The coaches, players, and fans of the visiting Fort Walton Beach Vikings were probably happy that the scoreboard wasn’t functioning so that they were not constantly reminded of how quickly the host team was racking up points. Last Friday night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium the scoreboard was not functioning. The Raider football team, however, was operating like a finely tuned Swiss time piece
In the pre-season Kickoff Classic, Milton held the Raiders scoreless and allowed just one first down in the half of play. Since that August 21 contest, the Navarre offense has been unstoppable.
