Navarre’s softball team put together one of its best seasons in 2023 and all signs point to that success continuing next year.

While the Raiders are losing a strong senior class that helped the team reach its first regional tournament since 2019, a number of key players will return for the 2024 campaign.

The Raiders were scheduled to take on Hagerty in a Region 1-6A semifinal Tuesday night at 7 p.m. EST in Oviedo. It’s their first trip to the second round of the regional since 2011.
