Pace’s unbeaten start to the season came to a halt Friday night as Pace fell 29-21 to Crestview at Jack Foster Stadium.

The Patriots led 21-15 at the half but the Bulldogs did not allow another score after halftime. Two Crestview touchdowns in the second half proved to be the difference.

Gavin Schulte needed a few minutes before doing a post-race interview with a reporter after the Patriot Invitational a couple of weeks ago.

The allergies had gotten the best of the Pace senior because of the grass and pollen, and he went to get his inhaler moments after crossing the finish line in seventh place with a time of 17:20.70.

On Friday night, the Pace Patriots continued their winning streak, improving to 3-0 with a 42-14 win over the West Florida Jaguars after a rain delay of almost two hours.

The Patriots started out strong with Nick Simmons slipping through the holes in West Florida’s defense for a 7-0 lead. 

Milton head coach Kelly Gillis walked off Hurley Manning Field hugging and exchanging words with coaches, fans and players. You could see the smile on his face from a mile away.  

For the first time this season, the Panthers found the win column, beating Washington 47-31 Saturday night.  

Hudson Trammel won the 100 Butterfly and finished fourth in the 200 IM at Saturday’s Panama City Beach Invitational.

The meet was delayed by rain and eventually called because of the weather.

Willie Jordan set a school record for an interception return and the University of West Florida offense also continued to roll in a 49-10 win over Southwest Baptist Saturday night in Missouri.

Jordan ran a pick back 99 yards for a score while seventh-ranked UWF racked up 400 yards of offense as they improved to 2-0 on the season.

Addison Gevo pumped her fist, shouted and smiled, sending an added jolt of energy through the Pace volleyball team as it moved one step closer to victory against West Florida Tech last Thursday night.

Gevo had just recorded another kill, drilling the ball hard enough to where the Jaguars were unable to defend it. That play, combined with everything else that seemed to work for the Patriots, helped propel them to a three-set victory (25-22, 25-17 and 25-19) and their fourth consecutive win.

Katie Jimenez could have played volleyball in college, but she wanted to be a Division I athlete, and softball was her path to achieving that goal.

Now, she finds her back in the gym around the other sport she loves a great deal, coaching volleyball at her alma mater.
