Navarre’s girls golf team placed in the top 10 at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Bubba Watson High School Golf Classic last Tuesday at AC Read in Pensacola.
Jaya McDonald paved the way, posting one of the best scores of the day. She shot an 80 to finish eighth overall among all competitors.
Four of the previous five matches for the Navarre Raider volleyball team had ended with a loss, and for a while last Tuesday night, the Raiders were staring at the possibility of another one.
The Raiders trailed the Choctaw Indians two games to one, on the road by the way, but refused to fall on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
NAS Pensacola is nicknamed the “Cradle of Naval Aviation.”
In the military, it’s recognized as the birthplace of naval aviation—the home of the first formal naval aviation school, established on base in 1914. The base is also home to the National Naval Aviation Museum, which was established in 1962 and displays the rich history of the very profession it’s named for. In the last few years, the museum has hosted an annual event for Girls in Aviation Day on Nov. 1 to teach young women about the profession, cultivate a love for it, and encourage young women to pursue aerospace careers.
