Nina Malave finished off the first set against Tate with a big kill, and it seemed as if Navarre’s volleyball team had set the tone for the night against the Aggies.


The Raiders won the opening game 25-21 but they couldn’t sustain that energy and momentum the rest of the way as the Aggies won the final three 25-20, 25-14 and 25-17 on Tuesday night.

Jason Kisor will be back for another season as the head coach of Navarre’ flag football team.


Kisor was driven to return after last season ended short of the team’s ultimate goals.

Although Julia Irmen is only a sophomore on the Rose-Hulman volleyball team, the former Navarre Raider is already a team leader for the NCAA Division III school in Indiana.

Success continues to be a primary storyline for the Navarre Raider cross-country teams.


The Raider girls were the runner-up Saturday at the Argo Invitational in Pensacola while the boys team finished fourth.

Nina Malave has taken on a bigger role with the Navarre Raider volleyball team this season, particularly at the net where she’s become one of the teams better blockers.

It was the first day of batting practice with the Windy City ThunderBolts and Michael Sandle, in his words, ‘made a horrible read’ in centerfield.


“I was running and the ball flies over my head,” Sandle said. It was a reset moment where I’m like, alright, I’m back in it (pro baseball). I really take pride in defense as much as I do my offense.”
