The Gulf Breeze Zoo is expanding again, but not in land mass. Two rare Grévy Zebras were born within hours of each other from two different moms, Blitz and Twitch. Both babies are called “colts” because they have been identified as being male. The new Zebra moms and colts are being kept in an area all to themselves, “so they can concentrate on just being moms,” said Zookeeper Christy Barnes.

The Raider varsity offense never got in gear at the Kickoff Classic won by Milton 6 – 0 on their home field Aug 21. The Raiders managed only one first down and that was on the last play of the game.
