Drew Ottley played through pain a year ago at the 3A regional golf tournament in Spruce Creek, and because of it, had one of the toughest days of his high school career.

He shot a 94, the sprained ankle becoming almost too much to handle and spoiling his first ever trip to the regional.

Sept. 23 will always hold significance for Lighthouse Private Christian Academy football head coach Everette Alford.

His Stingrays beat Destin that night by an 8-7 score, a long-awaited win for the Navarre alum and his program.

David Durden sprinted downfield and Peewee Jarrett unleased a big-time throw. The ball found the hands of Durden in the back of the end zone on a 48-yard scoring strike, and the highlight-worthy play couldn’t have come at a better time.

Thirty seconds earlier, West Alabama had sliced the UWF lead to six, and now, Durden’s touchdown had put the Argos back on top by double digits.

Michael Carter went over 1,400 yards of total offense in his NFL career on Sunday afternoon.

Kyra McKelvey put her arms around teammate Mackenzie England and gave her a hug as they headed off the floor for the final time in 2022.

Moments like the one that played out Wednesday night against rival Gulf Breeze on the road in a Region 1-6A quarterfinal are never easy to digest. They sting, especially when losing closes the door on a season.

A new format is in place for this year’s high school football playoffs.

Teams will be seeded one through eight based on the FHSAA power rankings and all a district championship guarantees now is a playoff berth. In the past, a title assured a team of a first-round home game.
