Navarre’s boys basketball team wraps up the regular season this week and has shown is it making strides this year under first year head coach Todd Arasmith.
Aden Ottley had a good look at the goal and knew he had an opportunity to make something happen.
With under 10 minutes to play in a tightly contested District 1-6A quarterfinal against Crestview on Wednesday, the senior fired a shot right past the goalie, breaking a scoreless tie and ultimately shifting the momentum in the Navarre Raiders’ favor.
Abi Hackl made back-to-back 3-pointers in the third quarter of Navarre’s girls basketball game against Pace, firing up her teammates and the crowd as the Raiders extended their lead against the Patriots.
Hackl is a role player, so she doesn’t normally grab the spotlight. But this was her time to shine and she made the most of it in a 59-37 win.
Gabby Johnson stepped onto the podium twice during the District 1-3A girls weightlifting meet last Monday at Pace.
The senior finished third for Navarre in Olympic and traditional in the 199-lbs. weight class, helping the Raiders finish second overall as team. But her success only tells part of her story.
Steve Chard pulls up in his kayak to a boat ramp in Moore Haven, Florida, on Dec. 29 and a man who is fishing asks what he’s doing.
Chard tells him about his journey and the purpose behind it and is offered a place to stay for the night. It’s day 166 of his Great Loop adventure.
Late last month, a Milton resident posted a picture of a river otter swimming through Annie’s Basin near the Blackwater River. The woman was on her dock when a little furry head stuck out of the water.
While not an uncommon sight, river otters are not exactly the poster child for Florida animals. Despite not being as famed as alligators, manatees and Florida panthers, river otters play an important ecological role.
Navarre’s girls soccer team had an opportunity to perhaps steal the No. 2 seed from Pace for the District 1-6A tournament.
But a penalty kick late in the action, resulting from a questionable call that left head coach Rob Simon frustrated, proved to be the difference in a 1-0 loss to the Patriots on the road last Tuesday night.
