Soon it will be so long June and hello July.


That’s when everything starts to ramp up a little more on the football field as the Navarre Raiders inch closer to the start of preseason camp and the 2024 campaign.

Jacob Walsh gained a lot of valuable experience a season ago playing alongside veteran talent on the Navarre Raiders’ offensive line.


It was players like Charlie Cottrell, Jaxson Spalla and Cam Pollard, three leaders up front who Walsh was able to learn from.

Ethan Newman remembers his first game day experience on a college football field. It was against Furman, the No.7 FCS team in the country at the time.

Jacob Crowder is headed into his senior season of football with the Navarre Raiders.


And he is taking each day to prepare for the season ahead.

Hailey Netro is always working on her golf game. Be it in a tournament, on her own, or with a golf coach, Netro is putting herself in a position to be the best player she can be.

Angela Puckett is pleased with what she has seen from the Navarre Raider girls basketball team this summer.


It is especially encouraging considering this is a Raider team that has no returning starters and is looking to lay a foundation now for the 2024-25 campaign.

With a small crowd gathered inside Navarre High’s media center Monday morning, John Crossley got a little emotional talking about being named the new head baseball coach of the Raiders.


This new role means a lot to him, especially as a Navarre grad, so the fighting back of the tears is understandable.

John Crossley has been named the next head coach of the Navarre Raider baseball team.


Crossley has been an assistant with the team for four years and is a Navarre alum.
