Soccer had always been the main sport for Zoey Dezaldivar. When Navarre started up its girls lacrosse program last season, Dezaldivar made a switch.

There have been difficult moments for sure, growing pains that come with being new to the sport, such as Thursday’s 12-1 loss to Seacoast Collegiate at Ian Lockwood Field.

As the gym was being cleaned up after Wednesday afternoon’s District 1-3A meet, Jordan Moon looked at the trophy resting on the table and asked his coach if he could get one more picture with it.

It means a little more to Moon and his teammates to be crowned district champions this season, primarily because the shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago left an empty feeling inside each one of Navarre’s weightlifters.

Kelly Hayes was tough on her softball team after last Monday’s 1-0 loss at home to Elmore County in the Florida/Alabama Challenge.

But it’s only because she wants the best out of her team and she knows the potential it has even if it does have just one senior on the roster.

Levi Hawley has been in challenging situations before, but never in a setting he isn’t accustomed to.

Hawley and his Navarre teammates were playing baseball at Blue Wahoos Stadium, and the senior hurler admits that as cool as it was to play in one of the nation’s best minor league parks, there was added pressure.
