Following their 51-13 victory over Navarre last week, the Milton Panthers football team (1-2) had high expectations heading into their first district matchup against Fort Walton Beach (1-2).

That was until, as Milton head coach Ronnie Douglas put it, they got “hit in the mouth.” The final score was 28-0 in favor of the Vikings, who hosted the Sept. 11 game.

Thunder could be heard off in the distance on an overcast and humid afternoon at Stonebrook.

But Pace, Navarre and Milton were able to play their golf match on Thursday despite the threat of bad weather in Pace.

We are getting close to the midway point of the regular season. Week four is ahead for teams in Santa Rosa County.

Pace and Milton both play games this week while Jay and Central have byes.

It’s the midway point of September and fall sports are in full swing.

Here’s a look at some of the action from this past week.

The Jay football team came into this season with high expectations, and to this point, it has met them with flying colors.

Jay and Central entered Tuesday night’s volleyball match in vastly different head spaces, with the Royals coming off five straight sweeps and the Jaguars looking to bounce back after a tough loss to West Florida Baptist.

Jay’s volleyball team is leading the way in the FHSAA Rural Region 1 rankings.

The Royals are ahead of area rivals Baker and Central.

The University of West Florida football team is ranked in this week’s FCS coaches poll.

It wasn’t long ago that Central didn’t have a football field or a team.

Head coach Joe Surratt remembers it well.

The first cross-country meet of September took place on a hot and humid Saturday morning at Sims Middle School in Pace.

But area runners were ready for the challenge.
