Jayden Heavener has made her decision on where she will play softball next season.


The Pace grad and LSU transfer is headed to national runner-up Texas Tech, announcing her decision on social media on Saturday.

In some ways, Pace’s girls basketball looks familiar, with some key players back.


But there are also a lot of new faces.

Milton’s girls basketball team certainly has some players in place on the roster to be successful this coming season.


But the Panthers are also working to build some depth this summer.

Bryson Brown had a chance to compete overseas in England in May, representing Team USA at the British Weightlifting Championships, and the former Milton Panther enjoyed the opportunity to do it.

Three teams at Milton will have new coaches this coming school year.


Zane Lowe is now the Panthers’ softball coach and Sebastian Brightman is taking the helm of the girls weightlifting team. James Turk is the new boys lacrosse coach.

And here on a sunny morning in early June, the foundation is being laid for the football program here.

Hannah DeMarcus is aware of how much talent there is in Florida when it comes to softball.

Jackson McKenzie won’t have to go too far after entering the transfer portal. The former Pace Patriot is headed to Florida State after spending this past season at Florida A&M.

Tate Jernigan went into the FHSAA 3A state meet focused on putting everything he had into the javelin competition.
“It was my last four throws (of the season). I had to give it all I have,” Jernigan said. “I went in there and threw to the best of my ability.”
