Jay Walls has been coaching football a long time, nearly 30 years, but he’s never built a program from the ground up.


That all changed this week when he was announced as the first football coach in Soundside High history.

Faith Lowe’s game-winning goal against Prairieville was a perfect example of actions speaking louder than words.

Area junior and senior athletes are starting to commit to schools to continue their athletic careers in college. Some have even signed already.

Izzy Zach authored one of the best stories of 2025, repeating as a state champ. Josh Wilson won his first ever weightlifting crown.

One last high school football game was played Friday as the East battled the West in the Pensacola Sports Association All-Star Game.


The West prevailed 3-0 on a chilly evening at Pine Forest.
