One week of October football is in the books. Here’s a look back at how everything played out for the teams in our coverage area last week.

Navarre and Pace have consistently been among the better cross-country teams in the area this season.

They opened October with Booker T. Washington’s Wildcat Invitational at the University of West Florida on Saturday.

As rain fell at Mickey Lindsey Field Friday night, Makael Williams ran the ball in for a touchdown in overtime, leading Pace to a 31-29 win over the Pine Forrest Eagles.

Milton’s football team came into Friday’s home game against Pensacola looking to get back on track after back-to-back losses, and they did so emphatically with a 32-14 win at Hurley Manning Field.

The high school baseball playoff format in Florida will look different in 2027.

Every round of the playoffs, with the exception of the quarterfinal round, will now be a best-of-three format.

Win No. 6 for the Jay Royals was picked up the easy way on Friday.

The Royals’ game against True Institute out of Georgia was canceled after the team opted not to make the trip.

Jay and Baker met Thursday night for a highly anticipated rivalry matchup. The top-ranked Royals beat the third-ranked Gators at their place earlier in the season, and with home-court advantage this go-around, Jay dominated in a 3-0 sweep.

It’s a new month and a new opportunity for area teams to get a win this week.

The big question is will the weather cooperate? As of now, Pace, Milton and Jay are all set to be in action on Friday night.
