Jay is searching for a way to get back on track.
The Royals lost 41-19 to 2022 state runner-up Northview Friday night, their third consecutive loss during a grueling stretch of games against playoff contenders.
Pace continued District 1-4S play last Friday night on the road, defeating the Tate Aggies 41-13. The Patriots move to 2-0 in the district and are 6-1 overall.
For one quarter last Friday night, there was hope. Hope that Milton would pull off an upset of Navarre. Hope that the Panthers would put an end to a three-game losing streak.
They were tied with the Raiders at 7-7 after one quarter and trailed just 10-7 with a little over four minutes left until halftime.
It’s district tournament time for area volleyball teams.
Things get started Monday with a pair of games as Milton (8-16) travels to Tate (17-7) in the District 1-6A tourney while Central plays host to Laurel Hill in District 1-1A play.
Navarre and Pace finished first and second, respectively, in the overall standings at the Santa Rosa County Swim Meet Thursday at the Pullum YMCA. Milton took fourth.
The meet took place on a chilly and sometimes rainy afternoon, with swimmers huddling up in an effort to stay warm, wearing blankets and jackets, but there was also plenty of energy as they cheered on their teammates in a tightly contested meet.
Pace heads to Cantonment for a big game against Tate Friday that headlines week seven of the high school football season for teams in Santa Rosa County.
The Patriots take on the Aggies in a pivotal District 1-4S showdown. Pace is 1-0 in district play. Tate is 1-1.
Pace’s Josephine Harris didn’t have her best day at the state swim meet a year ago. She finished 23rd overall out of 24 swimmers, recording a time of 1:03.26.
The latest regional rankings are out and Pace and Navarre both remain in the top eight in Region 1-4S while Jay is still holding down a spot in the top four in Region 1-1R.
