Navarre’s girls weightlifting team competed against Choctaw Tuesday and rolled to a 117-63 win over the Indians.

Alaina Youngblood buried a 3-pointer, sending the home crowd into a frenzy, including the student section, as she pushed the Navarre Raiders’ point total past 10 in a game against Baker last Tuesday night.


This was Navarre’s silent night game, meaning the fans had to stay quiet until the Raiders reached 10. Youngblood’s shot did that and a little more, extending the lead to 12-0 over the Gators.

Lisa Taing is the commanding officer of Navarre’s NJROTC unit, which means a lot of responsibility is on her shoulders.


In the fall, she was also on the Raider golf team and that served as an opportunity to get away for a bit and enjoy a game she has grown to love.

Kiara Baker didn’t start playing basketball until her freshman year.

Quentin Randolph will get another chance to shine in the bright lights of Las Vegas.


The former Navarre Raider signed with the Vegas Knight Hawks for another year after helping to lead the franchise to its first Indoor Football League championship in 2025.

Brynlee Kurtz returned to the high school swim team at Navarre for the first time since freshman year and made the most of it, making her first ever appearance at state.


Kurtz made it in the 100 breaststroke at the FHSAA 3A meet and placed 14th overall in a time of 1:11.05.

It wasn’t as if Tony Romo or Jimmy Garoppolo was going to be walking through the door to give Eastern Illinois a fighting chance against the nationally ranked Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 22.
