With no school on the day of their District 1-6A tournament quarterfinal against Crestview last week, members of the Navarre volleyball team went out for lunch.


It wasn’t something that was required. It just happened. And it speaks to the chemistry this team points to as one of its biggest keys to success.

Back and forth Navarre and Crestview went in a wild fourth set of a District 1-6A volleyball quarterfinal on Monday night.


Long rallies. Great serves. Hard hits. Hustle plays everywhere. Nothing given. Everything earned.

Bryce Wheeler is only a sophomore.


But inside the locker room late last Friday night, the defensive lineman spoke like a seasoned veteran about the Navarre Raider football team needing to brush off a 27-7 loss to Crestview and move on.

Two things inspired Navarre Raider senior Manasseh Underwood II to play golf.


One was his uncle, a former pro who encouraged his nephew to get into the sport.

Navarre Raider golfer Cadie May has long had a passion for education.


“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher ever since I started school. I’d go home and teach my stuffed animals when I was younger” May said.

The Raiders didn’t have their best week of practice leading up to their game against Escambia at Emmitt Smith Field, but even still, they nearly rallied for a win over the Gators on a rainy October evening.

Navarre’s football team will try to keep its momentum rolling when it takes on Escambia Friday night at Emmitt Smith Field. Kickoff is 7 p.m.


The Raiders have won two in a row, including last week’s District 1-6A opener against unbeaten Tate by a 30-27 score.
