So I took my first trip over to the new track at Pine Forest a couple of weekends ago. Let me just say that I was impressed.
It kind of felt like I was walking into a stadium for the state meet with the way the rubberized track looked as the sun beat down on it. It is indeed a thing of beauty.
Navarre’s boys lacrosse team dominated Milton in a rivalry game on March 6 and it was just what the Raiders needed after a tough loss to Niceville five days earlier.
The Raiders rolled to a 17-3 win over the Panthers at the Milton Community Center, notching their third victory of the season.
Landen Nary became the all-time leader in goals scored for Navarre’s boys lacrosse team last week.

Midway through the season, the Navarre Raider girls lacrosse team is at eight wins and counting, double the win total of the previous two seasons combined.
For those scoring at home, those eight wins are the most in school history.
Navarre’s baseball team earned a big win Wednesday night, knocking off West Florida Tech 6-3, handing the Jaguars their first loss. West Florida came into the game at 9-0 on the year.
Navarre’s baseball team knew it would have its hands full against the reigning 1A state champion Jay Royals last Friday.
And that proved to be the case as the Raiders fell behind 4-1 after one inning and ended up falling 10-3.
Facing the reigning state champions on the road is no easy thing. The Navarre Raider softball team was in that position Monday night, facing off against Pace in an early-season District 1-6A showdown.

Beaten in the title game a year ago, the Makos made sure this time around would be different as they defeated Mid-Atlantic Christian 87-76 in the New South Atlantic Championship game Sunday in Milton.
