Cheyenne Beasley did her best to deal with the physicality of an early-season showdown with Fort Walton Beach Wednesday night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

Visibly showing her frustration at times, Beasley kept getting up and going after it, doing what she could to help Navarre come out with a win.

First-year Navarre head girls lacrosse coach Mackenzie Nicodemus saw positives in the way her team performed in its season opener against Niceville last Monday night.

Perhaps what stood out the most to Nicodemus was the fight her team showed even with it faced a deficit against Niceville at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

As Navarre’s girls weightlifting team prepares for another run at a state championship, starting with Wednesday’s District 1-3A meet in Niceville, head coach Garrett Bagley likes where things stand with his team heading into it.

Bagley said the team has progressed the way he hoped it would this season as it built toward the most important part of the season.

Jayah Jones had a bag of ice wrapped around one of her legs and was still feeling a little under the weather late Tuesday night.

But neither pain nor illness kept Navarre’s sophomore star from putting forth a gutsy performance against Choctaw.

Dwayne Carter is excited about the direction C3Sports is headed in.

The sports clothing line business he started with his brothers, Michael and Josh, six years ago is poised to take another step forward with NIL (name, image and likeness) now in play for college athletes.
