Pensacola Blue Wahoos manager Nelson Prada and pitcher Eliazar Dishmey have earned postseason recognition.

It’s time to take a look at how this past week went for football teams in our coverage area.

Jay stayed unbeaten while Central and Navarre both lost on Friday. Pace and Milton did not play.

Coming off a bye week, Jay put its undefeated record on the line, welcoming Holmes County to Merle V. North Stadium for a Friday night football showdown.

The Royals faced their greatest test of the season to date, but they ultimately prevailed 24-14.

Central’s football team didn’t win last Thursday night’s road game against Baker, but the Jaguars did show plenty of fight from start to finish in a 30-8 loss.

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos saw their season come to an end Thursday night with an 8-3 loss to Biloxi in Game 2 of a best-of-three Southern League South Division series.

A light schedule is ahead in the area this week as only Central and Jay are in action on the football field.

The Jaguars are on the road against Baker tonight while the Royals host Holmes County Friday night.

The bye could not have come at a better time for Pace’s football team.

The Patriots (2-2) are coming off a 37-29 win over Wakulla on Sept. 11, snapping a two-game losing streak, and are set to play their first District 1-5A next Friday night against Crestview (0-4) at Mickey Lindsey Field.

Jay remains the top team in the Rural Region 1 volleyball rankings. Central is fourth this week.

High school golfers in Santa Rosa County got their first big test of the season on Monday, playing in the Byron Nathan Classic at Stonebrook.

Golfers played 18 holes for the first time this season in live competition, battling not only the course but also the hot and humid conditions enveloping the day here in Pace.

A planned ice rink in Pace could break a cycle that has kept hockey stuck in limbo around Northwest Florida for years: too little ice to grow, and too small to draw the attention needed to get more.
