The West Florida Baptist volleyball team won its first tournament of the season over the weekend.

The Conquerors traveled to Hampton, Georgia and won both games on their way to the championship.

Raymond Cottrell draws as much attention as any football player in the area.

He is bound for reigning national champion Georgia once his high school career at Milton is done and is one of those players who might just play on Sundays one day.

It seemed like any other summer morning for Milton defensive lineman Gavin Peaden. Get up, get ready and prepare to put in hard work on the football field.

July 11 turned out to be different. While in a car with his grandma on the way to the high school, they came across a home on fire.

Caitlyn Gavin developed a passion for softball at a young age and has since dreamed about one day playing at the college level.

Randolph has been named to the league’s all-rookie team after an impressive 2022 season with the Western Conference champion Northern Arizona Wranglers.

J.C. Peacher made his first career start in a college baseball game on April 30. Georgia Southern was up against Coastal Carolina, and for Peacher, this was one of those moments that made the Pace alum reflect on the journey to get here.

The hours. The effort. The work. It was all worth it. There were nerves, sure, but those didn’t last long.

The University of West Florida football team is picked to finish second in the Gulf South Conference preseason poll.

The Argos were crowned conference champions for the first time in program history a year ago, sharing the title with Valdosta State, the favorite to win the GSC title.

It’s back to school for Brandon Sproat.

Drafted by the New York Mets in the third round of the Major League Baseball Draft last month, the Pace alum has opted to pass on pro baseball for now and return to the Florida Gators for another season.
