Santa Rosa County did not disappoint at the 3A state boys weightlifting meet Friday afternoon at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland.


Pace claimed the Olympic and traditional titles, while Milton was the state runner-up in Olympic and traditional. Navarre earned a share of the traditional title as well.

Navarre’s flag football team won its regional tournament opener in impressive fashion and set a record for wins in a season with the 39-6 victory over Forest Thursday night at Bennett C Russell Stadium.

Jessica Farrer is the leading hitter for Bishop State’s softball team. The freshman standout from Navarre is hitting .379, racking up 36 hits and scoring 29 runs.

Quentin Randolph is best known as a wide receiver on the football field.


Turns out, he has some running back skills as well.

You are only in high school once. It may seem like, at times, the four years are never going to end, that it takes forever to get from freshman year to senior year.


But the reality is it’s over in the blink of an eye.

Lifters from Pace, Milton and Navarre will all compete at the 3A state weightlifting meet Friday at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland.

Navarre’s flag football team is headed to the regional tournament for the first time since 2021.

The Raiders earned an at-large berth for the 2A tourney and will host Forest Thursday night at Bennett C Russell Stadium.

Ryan Ragan has a simple approach when he steps up to the plate. And it works.


“You can’t think too much. You just have to swing the bat,” Ragan said.

A new stadium is in the works for the University of West Florida football team.


UWF is working to raise $90 million through its “Here for Good” campaign and already has $65 million raised.

Navarre’s boys lacrosse team played a challenging schedule all season, facing some of the best competition in the area.

That remained the case Thursday as the Raiders faced area power Niceville on the road and lost 15-1.
