Just two weeks into the season, the Navarre Raider volleyball team has already matched its win total from a season ago.

The Raiders kept their momentum rolling over the weekend by winning the Labor Day Classic in Foley Alabama, and are on their way to what could very well be their best season in program history.

The sound of medals clanking dominates on a summer night inside Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

Worn around the necks of young athletes that have worked hard for success, those medals are visible reminders of the rapid rise Navarre Xpress has experienced on the AAU track scene.

Pressure stared Navarre’s flag football team in the eyes, and the Raiders didn’t blink in their first regional tournament appearance in program history.

Down by a point with under a minute to go, Mackenzie England hauled in a game-winning touchdown catch to lift Navarre to a 12-7 victory over Fleming Island Wednesday night.

Navarre is riding the high of its first win of the season and hopes to keep the momentum going when it takes on third-ranked Pace on the road Friday night.

Navarre’s volleyball team wrapped up its 2025 season on Oct. 14 in a District 1-6A quarterfinal loss to Niceville.


The streak for winning seasons for the program came to a halt at five, but there were some positive moments throughout the year as well.
