The scoreboard said Pace 17, Navarre 7 after Monday night’s spring game in Pace, and first-year head coach Garrett Bagley is looking at that outcome a couple of different ways.


In no way is the game the only thing that matters when evaluating the last three weeks of spring football.

You only needed one hand to count the number of regional qualifiers for Navarre’s track team last year.


It’s different this season for the Raiders, who took 26 to the regional, the most since 2017.

Chants of ‘Let’s go offense and let’s go defense grow louder along the sideline as the Navarre Raiders run through plays, dust and dirt being kicked up on the practice field on a warm Monday afternoon.


There’s an added layer of energy enveloping the Raider football team this spring, and first-year head coach Garrett Bagley is doing his best to have his team capitalize on it.

Cole Crocker crushed a solo home run to left field in the fourth inning of Navarre’s District 1-6A semifinal against Pace Tuesday night.


As he put his foot on the plate, his teammates who had come out of the dugout began to cheer even louder, and the Raiders had the spark they were looking for to revive hope for a comeback.

After one inning of softball in a District 1-6A semifinal against Pace Tuesday night, the Navarre Raiders were still in the game.


They only trailed by a couple of runs. They had only given up two hits.

In a win or go home baseball game, the Navarre Raiders chose to kept playing.


They set the tone with an eight-run first inning and rolled to a 10-0 run-rule victory over Milton Monday night at Bo Singletary Field in Milton.
