Jordan Jefferson was a state champion weightlifter in high school. So strength has always been one of the first things that comes to mind when the Navarre alum’s name is mentioned.

That strength has carried over to his collegiate career and is still making a difference for him.

Just minutes into a preseason game against Pine Forest at Booker T. Washington last Tuesday night, it’s evident the Raiders are not going away without a fight.

They defend hard and are quick to force turnovers. And while it doesn’t add up to a victory against one of the more athletic and talented teams in the area, head coach Abby Fogg came away from the game feeling good about the effort her team put forth.

Kaleb Nobles held his baby in his lap as he sat down for a postgame press conference after a big win for the University of West Florida in the regular season finale against Chowan.

Nobles spent the inaugural year here for the Argos in 2016 as the quarterback and spent time on the coaching staff as well, including when UWF won the NCAA Division II national championship in 2019.

Taylor Armstead appears to have not missed a beat with her junior soccer season at Navarre underway.

The Navarre standout opened the season in impressive fashion, recording a hat trick, and has tallied four goals overall through the first three games of the year.
