Milton had several athletes place in the top 10 at Saturday’s Wildcat Invitational in Pensacola.

Jackson McDonald was the lone winner for the Panthers as he took first in the pole vault with a height of 12-feet-2 3/4 inches.

Rylee Henderson was one of four Pace athletes to take home a first-place finish at Saturday’s Wildcat Invitational in Pensacola.

Henderson came through with a throw of 110 feet to win the discus.

Ellie Harshany didn’t start out playing volleyball. She was in dance a good part of her young life.

Then, in seventh grade, the Pace standout athlete decided to give the sport a try.

Holland Tauscher made the most of her opportunity last Tuesday night at the Ashton Brosnaham Complex in Pensacola at the Pensacola Sports Association All-Star Soccer Game.

Tauscher, a senior standout from Pace, scored twice to help the East beat the West 5-1 in a game featuring top seniors from Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties.

Pace’s Blakely Tyer really wasn’t interested in football early on.

His friends helped change his mind.

Eleven seniors were on Milton’s baseball roster a season ago, and only one player is back that appeared in all 28 games as a starter for the Panthers during their 18-10 campaign.

Still, that doesn’t mean the cupboard is bare for Milton, which is hoping the younger players who maybe didn’t play as much will use the experience and knowledge they gained in 2021 to their advantage.

For the first time in program history the University of West Florida football team will play all of its games on campus.

The announcement was made Monday morning when the schedule was released. The Argos have five home games on the slate that will all be played at Pen Air Field.

Kirstyn Joiner is excited to be in her first season as the head coach of Milton’s softball team.

She isn’t a stranger to the sport. Joiner played down the road at Pace when she was in high school, helping the Patriots win a state title in 2007, and shined collegiately at the University of Mobile.

If a preseason win over Milton last Wednesday night was any indication of the season ahead, Pace’s baseball team is set up for success.

The Patriots blanked the Panthers 5-0 behind a combined no-hitter anchored by Alabama commit and 2022 Major League Baseball Draft prospect Walter Ford, who struck out nine and also crushed a two-run home run.
