Aisley Shields couldn’t miss. At least it felt that way.
Seven times during Pace’s game against rival Navarre Monday night, the junior point guard connected from long range and rose to the occasion defensively to help the Patriots hold off the Raiders 51-43 in a District 1-6A showdown at home.
Aisley Shields nearly loses the ball out of bounds but quickly gets control of it during a game against Gulf Breeze last Monday night.
She dribbles back to the left side of the 3-point line and lets her shot fly, two Gulf Breeze defenders with no chance to defend her as the ball leaves her hand and swishes through the net.
Two Milton softball players signed their letters of intent last week.
Kamille Lucas is headed to NAIA Florida Memorial in Miami Gardens and Audrey Luedtke is bound for NCAA Division II Anderson in South Carolina. Both signed during a ceremony at Milton’s softball field last Wednesday night.
It was an early-season test for Pace and Milton’s girls weightlifting teams Thursday as the Patriots and Panthers also competed with Niceville in a tri-meet in Milton.
Up until a minute left in the third quarter, Pace’s boys basketball team was on the cusp of taking control of its game against Crestview.
The Patriots trailed by only three, and then with the final seconds winding down on the clock, the Bulldogs got a 3-pointer off that swayed the momentum in the other direction.
Four minutes into the second half of a huge district game against Gulf Breeze last Wednesday night, Pace’s Ava Wheaton takes a shot on goal that is tipped into the air by the goalkeeper.
But off that deflected save, Sydney Crow is there to punch the ball into the back of the net and trim the Dolphin lead to 3-2.
The fog began to slowly descend upon the pitch at Hurley Manning Field last Tuesday night. It was like a thick blanket where it was almost impossible to see anything.
That didn’t stop the Milton Panthers and the Pensacola High Tigers from squaring off in another regular-season matchup.
Before the season began first-year Pace head coach Richard Carroll worked out a schedule that would challenge his team.
He had good reason to take that approach after the team showed signs of promise during a 6-8-1 season in 2021. Eight starters were expected to be back and a total of 11 seniors were set to be on the roster.
Kamille Lucas jokes that it sometimes feels as if she doesn’t even have time to sit down. And really, to describe her as busy is an understatement.
Between volleyball, travel softball, high school softball and going to school, her schedule is pretty full.
