Charlie Cottrell and Jaxson Spalla jogged with an orange Gatorade bucket in hand, doing their best to catch up to head coach Jay Walls, who was making his way through the handshake line.

But as they attempted to dump ice water on their elated coach, who had just notched a milestone win in his career at the helm of the Navarre Raiders, Walls thwarted the effort.

Navarre and Pace finished first and second, respectively, in the overall standings at the Santa Rosa County Swim Meet Thursday at the Pullum YMCA.  Milton took fourth.

The meet took place on a chilly and sometimes rainy afternoon, with swimmers huddling up in an effort to stay warm, wearing blankets and jackets, but there was also plenty of energy as they cheered on their teammates in a tightly contested meet.

Addison Maddux checked into the game with the Navarre Raider volleyball team on the brink of another win.

A player who has seen limited playing time as a freshman on varsity, she was given her moment to shine as Julia Irmen set the ball in the air and Maddux hammered home the match-winning kill to finish out a sweep of Catholic on the road.

With the fumble forced and the ball rolling on the turf, Darius Cunningham Jr. knew what he had to do.

Fall on the football. Just secure it and ensure the Raiders came up with a crucial late-game turnover near the goal line in a riveting homecoming battle between Navarre and Mosley Friday night at Bennett C Russell Stadium.

Cross-country teams from Escambia and Santa Rosa County hit the Osceola Golf Course Thursday in Pensacola for the EscaRosa meet.

For the Navarre Raiders, Brody Bruce had the best day, running a career-best time of 17:24 as he placed fifth overall.
