Things are once again changing across the high school football landscape in Florida.
Two years after it was introduced, the Metro/Suburban classifications have been axed.
Milton’s boys soccer team was unable to complete a season sweep of Freeport last Tuesday night at Hurley Manning Field, falling 4-2 to the Bulldogs.
The Panthers had beaten Freeport 2-0 on Nov. 27 but fell behind 1-0 at halftime this time around and was unable to take control in the second half.
It was all going so well for Milton’s girls basketball team. Kayla Willis used a bounce pass to get the ball to Gabi Wright for a layup that pushed the Panther lead to nine late in the fourth quarter against Navarre last Tuesday night.
Everything changed in the final minutes, however, as Navarre rallied past Milton, which suffered a 39-37 District 1-6A loss to the Raiders.
Five Pace athletes signed national letters of intent earlier this month.
Two of those athletes are headed to the Division I level, with softball standout Jayden Heavener signing with LSU and star golfer Braden Duvall bound for Southern Mississippi.
Pace has become one of the better soccer teams in the area.
But on this chilly, see-your-breath kind of night for the Patriots at the Navarre Soccer Complex, it didn’t go the Patriots’ way.
Central’s Sasha Hatcher plays a lot of sports.
She’s a basketball player, a cross-country and track athlete, and last year, she became a volleyball player as well.
AJ BonJorno found the back of the net midway through the first half of Pace’s boys soccer game against West Florida Tech Monday night in Pensacola.
He showed his excitement, pumping his fists and then embracing teammates who were quick to celebrate with him.
Lani Bennett has a great relationship with her older brother, Cameron, an MMA fighter, but the Pace senior weightlifter will tell you that when it comes to being the toughest in the family, she wins that battle every time.
Treymar Jones has always been told to not hesitate when it comes to making a move on the basketball court.
When he just reacts off his natural athletic ability and instincts, the Milton standout is tough to stop, especially driving to the basket.
