Milton needed a bounce-back kind of win after the way the previous two games had gone down.

The Panthers got exactly what they were looking for against Fort Walton Beach last Tuesday night, rolling to a 7-1 victory at Kaye White Field.

Pace is closing in on the postseason, and last Wednesday’s Navarre Invitational served as an opportunity for the Patriots to continue making progress as they gear up for it.

Ty Wise Jr. was one of eight lifters to finish in the top six for Pace, taking home top honors in the 238-pound division with a total lift of 680.

One quarter into a showdown of unbeaten boys lacrosse teams, Milton finds itself tied at 1-1 with a South Walton team that has established itself as one of the best in the Panhandle.

The Panthers, though, have made strides of their own over its first three seasons of high school lacrosse, and they take a few more steps forward in their matchup with the Seahawks on a sunny Saturday afternoon in late February at Hurley Manning field.

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.
