It’s hot here on a practice field just outside of Pen Air Field on an early August afternoon. The kind of hot that requires multiple water breaks over the course of two hours and popsicles at the end of practice.
And yet, the University of West Florida football team pushes through the brutal summer heat and stifling humidity.
The University of West Florida men’s basketball team has added two coaches to its staff for the 2023-24 season.

Nate Hanson runs his route and quickly makes another big play for a touchdown during a 7-on-7 against
