When Nick Brahms plays in the United States Army’s All-American Bowl next year in Texas, it will be as if the Navarre football standout has come full circle.
The bad news is Navarre came up just short in their quest to capture a second straight district title. The good news is by making it to the title game they live to play another day.
Sage Chambers remembers the difficult night in November, the night where so much didn’t go right for the Navarre Raiders at Bennett C. Russell Stadium in an agonizing 23-22 double overtime loss to Tate in the opening round of the playoffs.
Navarre’s track teams competed at the District 2-7A meet April 13 at Emerald Coast Middle School in Santa Rosa Beach and several Raiders are moving on to regional competition.
Navarre was riding an emotional high after defeating Niceville on consecutive nights two weeks ago as the victories secured the regular-season championship.
Fans lined the grass around University Park Field Saturday morning. Tailgating was in full swing prior to kickoff. Even the cheerleaders were present. It felt like a regular season game in a lot of ways.
