Navarre volleyball coach Ryan Davenport walked along the sideline and rubbed his forehead as the Raiders fell further behind Washington in the third set of last Thursday night’s match in Pensacola. The look of frustration on his face said it all.

This was one of those nights where the Raiders battled the Wildcats tough in three close games but couldn’t make enough plays to put themselves over the top in a 24-26, 25-27, 18-25 loss.

As storm clouds loomed over the golf course at Tiger Point early last Thursday afternoon, the Navarre girls golf team wasn’t sure it would get a chance to play its tri-match with Pace and Gulf Breeze.

But the Raiders did soon get on the course as sunshine broke through the clouds and while the weather changed, the consistency of Navarre golfer Hailey Netro did not.

Chase Jennings took a moment to catch his breath after swimming the 200 IM at last Tuesday’s meet at the Pullum YMCA.

It’s still early in the season, but for Jennings, a senior standout on the Navarre swim team, he’s happy with where things stand so far but not satisfied.

Nick Brahms made the toughest decision of his football career last week when he announced Monday on social media that he was stepping away from the sport he loves.

Poised to be a starter for the fifth consecutive year with the Auburn Tigers, the Navarre alum said in a post that the wear and tear of the game had simply taken too much of a toll on him.
