Excitement, energy and races that went down to the wire. It was all bundled into one to set the stage for a highly competitive Santa Rosa County Meet last Thursday afternoon at the Pullum YMCA.
At the end of the meet, Navarre’s girls swim team stood tall as county champions, winning despite claiming first in only three events.
Two big throws from Hunter Pfiester to Jadon Reese helped move the Navarre Raiders deep into Mosley territory, and now, with clock winding down, it was time for Taylor Gardner to take a shot at sealing the deal.
Until last Thursday night here in Panama City, Gardner had never been in a position to make a game-winning field goal. He’ll admit he was a little nervous, but that’s natural in a pressure-packed moment. Then again, he was also confident.

With all the distractions and extra activity that comes with Homecoming week, Navarre’s football team stayed focused on the task at hand.
On a picture-perfect fall evening inside a Bennett C. Russell Stadium rocking with excitement, energy, and cheering fans, the Raiders dominated all three phases of the game in a 38-7 win over Leon.
The Santa Rosa County Commission is scheduled to hear a request this morning that, if approved, would allow an RV park on Navarre Beach and, possibly, end a lawsuit against the county.
“I’m going to recommend, if the commission is inclined to grant the lease amendment, that it be conditioned on the plaintiff ending litigation,” County Attorney Tom Dannheisser told Navarre Press on Thursday, Sept. 15. “It all depends on how it plays out at the meeting.”
Julia Irmen could almost reach out and touch how close Navarre was to changing the narrative of its volleyball match against rival Gulf Breeze in a near-packed gymnasium.
