Madison Simmons battled a cramp in her leg with a few minutes left in the fourth quarter, forcing her to the sideline during Navarre’s District 1-6A game against Pace Tuesday night.
It was a tough-luck moment for Navarre as it occurred at a point in a game that once seemed out of reach, but now appeared winnable, the Raiders trimming a double-digit advantage down to seven.
Before the Pensacola Blue Wahoos officially get their 2024 season started in the Southern League, they will play a couple of exhibition games against the Mexican League’s Sultanes de Monterrey. Those games will be played April 2-3.
Navarre alum Kyra McKelvey is part of a Southeastern Louisiana volleyball team that won a conference championship in November and punched a ticket to the NCAA tournament.
Michael Carter returned to action over Thanksgiving weekend, marking the first time since being released by the New York Jets in early November that he has played on an NFL field.
Navarre’s 2023 football season didn’t get off to the best of starts. The Raiders dropped their first two games and it appeared that perhaps they might suffer their first losing season since 2009.
Trista Wolk is looking to be a consistent scoring threat for a Navarre girls basketball team in a bit of a rebuilding mode but still a team that won’t back down from a challenge.
It’s on defense, though, where Wolk perhaps makes her biggest impact. Shots don’t always fall for a player, but defense travels.
Jordan Jefferson was a state champion weightlifter in high school. So strength has always been one of the first things that comes to mind when the Navarre alum’s name is mentioned.
That strength has carried over to his collegiate career and is still making a difference for him.
Katie Kauth has faced her share of adversity as a high school soccer player at Navarre, including last season when she missed most of the year with a torn MCL.
But she’s healthy again and excited not only about the 2023-24 season but her opportunity for a future in the game at the University of West Florida.
University of West Florida wide receiver John Jiles is a Harlon Hill Award nominee.
The award is the NCAA Division II equivalent of the Heisman and Jiles is one of only two receivers in contention for the award.
Daysha Taylor had already played in 33 varsity games heading into her senior year with Navarre’s girls soccer team.
She’s on track to play in the most games in program history at the varsity level, but the funny thing is she doesn’t even realize she’s become sort of the iron girl of high school soccer.
