Fielding work is the focus of a summer workout for the Navarre Raider baseball team on a sunny and hot Tuesday morning in early July.


Not all of the players are here on this day – several are playing travel ball – but overall, it’s been a productive summer since workouts began in mid-June.

The University of West Florida’s Dalton Neuschwander has been drafted by the Baltimore Orioles.

Marquez White is well established on the defensive side of the ball, and come this season, he’ll be looking to make his mark on offense as well.


White is entering his senior year set to play wide receiver while also staying on defense as a safety instead of a corner.

Kylie Pearson wasn’t planning to play college softball.


But after a stellar senior season with the Navarre Raiders, Pearson said her mindset changed. She committed to John Melvin Christian College earlier this month.

It’s hot inside the Panhandle Elite Volleyball Club during a Navarre Raider volleyball summer workout session, the fans that are blowing providing little relief as players compete in a six-on-six match.


With work being done on the gym floor at the high school, the Raiders have gotten their  workouts rolling here in Gulf Breeze and they have come in ready to work.

Navarre’s football team is inching closer to the start of its 2025 season.

The Raiders went 3-7 a year ago. But they are aiming to flip the script and get back on track after enduring their first losing season since 2009.

Former Navarre lacrosse standout Kate Hudson led the way for the Huntingdon Hawks offensively this past spring.


Her effort also earned her All-USA South Conference honors as a third-team selection.

Summer workouts wrapped up for the Navarre Raider softball team in at the end of June.


And head coach Jacqueline Othmani is pleased with how things went for the squad.

Jack Beyer is consistent in his workout. Kick after kick sails through the uprights as he practices on a hot and sunny morning inside Bennett C. Russell Stadium.


The rising junior is feeling good about the progress he’s making.

Nadia Rivera wasn’t always a catcher. She didn’t really like the position when she was younger and played third instead.


But around the time she started playing travel softball, she moved behind the plate.
