It’s not as if Pace’s volleyball team hadn’t been here before. Facing a fifth set to decide a match is something the Patriots have been through two other times this season.


They were in that same situation Tuesday night, on the road against Crestview and on the brink of coming up short in a District 1-6A match.

The Pace Patriot football team bounced back from a loss to Pensacola Catholic two weeks ago by winning against Gulf Breeze Friday night. The Patriots shut out the Dolphins 55-0.

Quarterback Carson Baxley picked up a ball that had been fumbled away momentarily and pitched it to Jeremiah King.


Baxley was hit immediately after he tossed the ball into the hands of one of Central’s top playmakers early in the second quarter last Friday night, and King wasted no time turning the new-found life for the Jaguars’ offense into something special.

A Friday night under stadium lights is no longer a dream for the Central Jaguars.


It became reality for the Jaguars Friday when they kicked off the varsity era of the program against JU Blacksher in Uriah, Alabama.
