When Ava Grace Wheaton scored with seven minutes to play in a postseason game that had already been decided, there were a few tears, perhaps the reality setting in that her prep soccer career and this season were about to come to end.
Her tally dented the scoreboard but did nothing to change the outcome of a 4-1 Region 1-6A quarterfinal loss to Gulf Breeze on a cool Tuesday evening at Dolphin Stadium.

Cooper Littlefield scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter to help lead Pace past Crestview in a key District 1-6A game Thursday night in Crestview.
Littlefield buried two 3-pointers in the period to help finish off a second-half rally. Pace went into halftime down 23-18.
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 City of Milton on Tuesday dedicated a historic marker commemorating J.B. Turner School, the first public school in Santa Rosa County for African American students.
