Players on the sideline started counting down the final seconds of Navarre’s girls lacrosse game against Tate last Tuesday night.

10,9,8,7…. Every second filled with more excitement than the last. 6, 5, 4, 3… The smiles on the faces of the players growing wider.

By the end of the third period Monday night, Navarre’s boys lacrosse team was in a much better spot against Booker T Washington than in the first half.

The Raiders, scoreless in the first 24 minutes, had five goals. They led by two.

Terence Marshall put his speed on display in a stacked 100-meter field at the Aggie Invitational on Saturday.

A standout wide receiver bound for Western Michigan, Marshall is making the most of his final track season as a Navarre Raider.

Garrett Bagley is the new head coach of the Navarre Raider football team.

Bagley replaces Jay Walls, who left last after 12 years to take a head coaching job at Bainbridge High School in Georgia.

Jay Walls arrived at Navarre High School Thursday morning to inform his football team he’d no longer be the head coach of the Raiders.

It wasn’t easy.

Jay Walls is headed to Georgia.

The coach of the Navarre Raiders since 2012, Walls will be the next head coach at Bainbridge.

Connor Mathews watched former teammate and eventual state champion Bryce Eberhardt shatter records at the Navarre Invitational a year ago.

Mathews competed in the 183-lbs. weight class behind Eberhardt at the time and was determined to have a similar kind of day this year.

Jason Kisor told his team in the pregame huddle Monday night that he wanted to beat Pace more than any other flag football team around.

The Navarre coach had his players hyped up, ready for the challenge in front of them of facing a Patriot squad that has made back-to-back playoff appearances and is ranked among the top five in the state.
