Navarre’s boys weightlifting team competed in its first big meet of the season, taking part in the Baker Invitational Wednesday.

The Raiders finished fourth in Olympic and sixth in traditional in a meet featuring the top area teams.

Less than three minutes in the Navarre Raiders were already on the board in their boys lacrosse game against Pensacola Wednesday night.

Leland Erickson found the back of the net at the 9:31 mark and the rout was one.

A familiar face is back as the head coach of the Navarre Raider girls lacrosse team as Teddi Koppelberger has returned to coach it.

Koppelberger was the head coach of the program in its inaugural season in 2020, which was cut short by the pandemic, before moving out of the area after the 2021 season.

Facing a four-run deficit after two innings, Navarre’s baseball team battled back and nearly came up with a season-opening win over Niceville last Tuesday night.

The Raiders got within two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, but the Eagles answered in the top of the seventh and then held off a final-inning rally as Navarre lost 6-3.

Hope was fading for Navarre’s softball team, the Raiders down to six outs to make something happen against Choctaw in its season opener Tuesday night.

It was in the bottom of the sixth inning when Navarre came to life offensively, scoring four runs.

Izzy Zach didn’t make it to the podium at the 3A state weightlifting meet a year ago. But oh what a difference a year makes for one of Navarre’s standout lifters.

Zach sat on the floor of the RP Funding Center in Lakeland Friday during the awards ceremony, wearing a medal around her neck and a smile on her face, savoring the thrill of being a state champion for the first time.

Here’s a look at what some of the former Navarre Raiders are doing at the next level.

Nothing against the American Flag, but Santa Rosa County needs to throw the idea of the largest flag in the state idea as some kind of tourist attraction right out the window and forget that the thought even entered its brain in the first place.
