Kelly Hayes has poured everything she has into coaching softball the last seven seasons, building the Navarre Raider program into one of the best in the area.

But her time in the dugout is done for now after announcing she has stepped down as the head coach. Hayes is due with her first child later this summer and is stepping away for that reason.

Trent Hall always believed he’d earn an opportunity to play football at the college level. Even as he sat out his senior season because of an injury, he kept the faith.

In April, Hall signed a national letter of intent with Webber International where the standout wide receiver will continue his collegiate career.

Less than 24 hours had passed since Navarre’s spring game when Ethan Newman unveiled a list of football camps he plans to attend this summer.

Between that and summer workouts with the team, a busy couple of months are ahead leading up to the 2022 season for the rising senior offensive lineman.

Chase Richardson and Alex Woodall didn’t expect their one-year run with the competitive cheer team at Navarre to lead them down a path to a college scholarship.

Yet, that’s exactly what happened for the Raider seniors as both have signed national letters of intent to continue their careers at Florida Gulf Coast.
