Alina Schorzman didn’t swim her freshman year of high school at Navarre. But her family inspired her to give the sport a shot as a sophomore.

The University of West Florida looks to keep its momentum going when it travels to Illinois this weekend to take on McKendree.

The Argos (1-0) take on the Bearcats (0-1) Saturday in a 1 p.m. game at Leemon Field.

Layla Prochazka was 6 years old when her interest in volleyball was first sparked. It’s been a game she’s loved to play ever since.

Navarre’s girls golf team played its first home match of the year, hosting Pace and Milton at Hidden Creek Tuesday afternoon, and the Raiders came out on top.

The Raiders won the tri-match with a 202 as a team, with Lillian Robertson and Hailey Netro leading the way. Both shot under 50.

Navarre Raider cross-country coach James Fox said the Patriot Invitational over Labor Day weekend was an opportunity for the runners to set the tone for the season ahead.

He also liked the fact that the team didn’t have to run in the heat for once as the sky was cloudy and a light rain fell at Sims Middle School in Pace.

There was little doubt about the University of West Florida coming out on top in its season opener against Kentucky Wesleyan Friday night at Pen Air Field.

The Argos came in ranked in the top nationally and coming off a third NCAA Division II final four appearance in program history. Kentucky Wesleyan was unranked and won just two games in 2022.

Before the second set against Booker T Washington
Thursday night, the Navarre Raider volleyball team huddled up to talk strategy.

The Raiders had just lost a marathon opener 31-29 to the Wildcats and now it was time to get back on track.

Navarre’s swim team competed in a tri-meet with Milton and Fort Walton Beach last Wednesday afternoon at the Pullum YMCA.

Several Raiders finished in the top three, including Hayden Weber who was second in the 100 Breaststroke (1:08.51) and third in the 100 Butterfly (59.03).

In 2016, Kaleb Nobles was making his debut as the quarterback of a first-year University of West Florida football program.

Fast forward seven years and Nobles is now the head coach of the program that ushers in a new era Friday night when it hosts Kentucky Wesleyan in a 6 p.m. game at Pen Air Field.
