Jaya McDonald is headed to the regional tournament for the second year in a row, qualifying as an individual after a solid round at the District 1-3A golf tournament Monday in Pace.

Navarre is riding the high of its first win of the season and hopes to keep the momentum going when it takes on third-ranked Pace on the road Friday night.

Navarre’s volleyball team wrapped up its 2025 season on Oct. 14 in a District 1-6A quarterfinal loss to Niceville.


The streak for winning seasons for the program came to a halt at five, but there were some positive moments throughout the year as well.

There were smiles on the sideline among the players and energy in the stands, especially from a student section decked out in camo, full of life, tossing around an inflatable dolphin.


Little has gone right for the Navarre Raiders on the football field this season, but on this mild mid-October Friday evening at Bennett C. Russell Stadium, they celebrated.

Even in a year when neither Navarre nor Gulf Breeze has a winning record, the Beach Bowl still means something.

There was little that could be said after Navarre’s football team lost 41-0 to Crestview Friday night at Jack Foster Stadium.


The Raiders lost their seventh game of the season, remaining winless and still searching for answers to flip the script, even if for just one night.

Down two sets to none, Navarre needed a spark. The Raiders found it in a hard-fought third set against Choctaw, surviving 25-23, to keep hope for a senior night win alive last Thursday night.

Earlier this week in practice, the Navarre Raiders tried to ramp up the competitive fire among the player with competitions.


The hope is that it provides an added spark for Friday’s District 1-6A battle with Crestview at Jack Foster Stadium.
